Attention is focusing on whether the free agent market, which had been slowing down for a while, will fluctuate as 13 players from nine professional baseball teams joined the military athletic unit on Tuesday. As players who join the military are on hold, each club will have more time to come up with a list of protected players. Attention is focusing on whether the Samsung Lions, who are likely to strengthen their starting pitchers, will recruit Choi Won-tae.메이저사이트

As of Tuesday, nine players remain in the free agent market. By grade, the teams have one A-grade player (Choi Won-tae), four B-grade players (Im Ki-young, Ryu Ji-hyuk, Ha Joo-seok, and Lee Yong-chan), and four C-grade players (Seo Geon-chang, Kim Kang-ryul, Kim Sung-wook and Moon Sung-hyun). The teams are paying attention to A-B grades. Their transfer could result in compensation players. If a team other than the original members recruits an A-grade free agent, it has to give one compensation player in addition to 20 protected players and 200 percent of the previous year's salary to the original team. Once enlisted in Sangmu, they are classified as pending players in the military and are excluded from the FA compensation player list. Teams that recruit A-grade free agents can protect 21 players, not 20.

Samsung is drawing the most attention in the final FA market. Samsung, which had been aiming to strengthen its bullpen in this season's Stove League, failed to recruit Jang Hyun-sik (LG Twins) and Kim Won-joong (Lotte Giants), whose top goals were to recruit.

Recently, he is reportedly showing interest in starting pitcher Choi Won-tae. After graduating from Seoul High School, Choi, who was initially nominated by the Nexen Heroes (now Kiwoom) in 2015, pitched in 217 games with a record of 78 wins and 58 losses with a 4.36 ERA. He was traded to LG in July last year, but became an FA. Some say that he already agreed to join the team, but Samsung is cautious. "It is true that Choi is included in the list, but there is no specific move yet," the Samsung team said. KT Wiz has already recruited Heo Kyung-min, Hanwha Eagles who recruited Um Sang-baek and Shim Woo-joon, and LG, which has brought in Jang Hyun-sik, are relatively passive in recruiting Choi. For this reason, there is a high possibility that Samsung will sign Choi.
