"Kim Kang-min Crisis" affect Choo Shin-soo and Oh Seung-hwan of the same age

Kim Kang-min, who strongly expressed his willingness to extend his career, left the team he had been attached to for 23 years in vain due to the complacency and coping of the club (SSG Landers). This is expected to have a significant impact on the future of players of the same age who were born in 1982.

Kim Kang-min was selected by the Hanwha Eagles in the second KBO draft held on the 22nd. SSG did not include Kim Kang-min in the 35-member protection list. SSG predicted that Kim Kang-min would retire and was hit. Hanwha chose Kim Kang-min because it was determined that he would still play well as a pinch hitter, a big player, and a pinch runner agent.

Players and fans who left the club's franchise star, who had only played for SSG (including the SK Wyverns' days), for 23 years, felt disappointed. Eventually, Kim Sung-yong, the general manager of SSG, was dismissed for taking responsibility for the situation.

This is also expected to affect players of the same age who were born in 1982, whose future has not been decided. Teammate Choo Shin-soo is also at the crossroads of extending his active duty and retiring. SSG, which sent Kim Kang-min away in vain, has no choice but to approach Choo Shin-soo's renewal of his contract more carefully. The club's wounds to the team and fans were too great to care about realistic problems such as full salary caps and generational changes.

On the other hand, Oh Seung-hwan (Samsung Lions)' extension of his career is a given. However, his qualification as a free agent is a variable. Samsung is determined to catch Oh Seung-hwan, the club's franchise star.

The problem is annual salary. Oh received 1.8 billion won last year. Samsung has already invested a lot of money in Kim Jae-yoon (up to 5.8 billion won for four years) in the FA market, so it can feel a burden in terms of finances such as salary caps.

It is hard to imagine Oh Seung-hwan wearing another team uniform as a franchise star who played only for Samsung for 13 years except for his overseas life. Considering the situation between SSG and Kim Kang-min, if Oh Seung-hwan leaves Samsung, the aftermath is likely to be significant. Samsung is also in a difficult position to negotiate with Oh Seung-hwan, who is not a few.

Choo has a batting average of 0.254 with 12 home runs and 41 RBIs in 112 games this season. Oh Seung-hwan appeared in 58 games this season, recording 4 wins, 5 losses, 2 holds, 30 saves, and an ERA of 3.45. It wasn't as good as it was in its heyday, and the aging curve is clear. However, the proportion of the two players in the team is more than imagined. In addition, as the Kim Kang-min scandal has emerged, the club cannot only consider realistic issues.    토토사이트
