Trade deadline (12 pm on the 31st) is coming. Professional baseball cannot be changed from August 1 to the end of the Korean Series. The US Major League (MLB) is the same.
A large trade came out ahead of the market deadline. Kia (KIA) Tigers and NC Dinos exchanged players. In Kia, outfielder Choi Won -joon, Lee Woo -sung, and infielder Hong Jong -pyo went to NC, and in NC, pitcher Kim Si -hoon, Hanseung, and infielder Jung Hyun -chang went to Kia.
Kia reinforces the bullpen and NC reinforces the outfielder, and some say, “Trade for Kia’s benefits.” Kia has been defeated by the back door in the second half. NC is rich in outfield resources such as Park Gun -woo, Son Ah -seop, Kwon Hee -dong, Chun Jae -hwan, and Han Seok -hyun. So there is a view that there is an additional trade, but the triangle trade usually comes out before shooting a transfer team uniform. This trade was quite active on Kia. It is said that other clubs have a similar player in other clubs other than NC.
Hanwha Eagles, which had been rumored since the beginning of the season, has no news. There may be a surprise trade on the last day, but it is moving quite careful. This is because it is currently running first, so it can harm the team’s atmosphere. Like Jinx, professional baseball is sensitive to energy and momentum. It is similar to not traded during the winning streak.
The trade is done when each other is judged to be a benefit after looking at all possibilities. That’s why I go through the process for quite a while until I get the outcome. Even if the card is determined to be matched, it is often distorted. There are also reasons for the evaluation criteria for the front and field (coach). The club should look at the future, but in the field, the current performance is more important. Even if the two clubs agreed, they sometimes fall in the last minute. This is because the group can oppose the final opposition. There are some trades in each club that have made press releases but have not been opposed by a group of groups.
This season, the trade market is especially rigid. Except for Kiwoom Heroes, everyone is open to autumn baseball. If you are a major league, you don’t know if you have 30 clubs. Who knows how today’s comrades will be a sniper tomorrow? Therefore, Kia and NC’s three -to -three trade are somewhat unexpectedly considered.
As a thirsty person first sells wells, it is a trade -in -one, but the profit and loss statement can be charged at different times. This is because the ‘rolled stone’ may be lowered in the autumn baseball, and the ‘removed stone’ may be able to enter the autumn baseball in the future. Unexpectedly, the players who have changed their uniforms in the middle of the season.
