“Ryu Hyunjin’s pride problem?” Billionaire owner’s change of mind, where is Ryu Hyunjin’s destination

Veteran left-hander Ryu Hyun-jin (37) is still unable to find his destination in the Major League. The starting pitcher is consistently classified as a player of interest due to the precious big league circumstances, but no news has been heard that he will be sure of the contract. It has also emerged as a hot topic of the remaining offseason where Ryu Hyun-jin’s market will be set. 토토사이트 순위

John Heyman, columnist for the New York Post and a representative source for Major League Baseball, reported on the 7th (Korea Standard Time) that the New York Mets and left-hander Sean Murney (32) signed a two-year contract worth 28 million dollars. The Mets were classified as the team that was most interested in Ryu this winter. Murney has Scott Boras as his agent, just like Ryu. Boras is likely to have appealed to the Mets both Ryu and Murney, but in any case, the Mets seem to have made small investments with high expectations at the age of five years younger than Ryu, even though Murney has been sluggish recently.

The Mets wanted to recruit Yoshinobu Yamamoto, 26, a starting pitcher for the FA this winter. For more than a month, the team stayed with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. Steve Cohen, the owner of the Mets’ billionaire businessman, invited Yamamoto to his home to express his sincerity.

However, Yamamoto chose the Dodgers. He signed with the Dodgers for 325 million U.S. dollars for 12 years, receiving the highest treatment as a pitcher in the history of FA. Rumor has it that the Mets were aggressive enough to offer the same amount as the Dodgers, but felt quite a sense of loss as they did not receive Yamamoto’s choice. After failing to recruit Yamamoto, the Mets had to turn to other cards, and the U.S. media consistently analyzed that recruiting inexpensive players such as Ryu Hyun-jin and Murnaea would not be a bad idea to thicken the depth itself. In fact, Ryu Hyun-jin was on the Mets’ radar, raising questions about how much money Boras would receive by taking advantage of his loss against Yamamoto.

Right now, it is ambiguous to say that the Mets have completely lost interest in Ryu Hyun-jin and that they are still interested. The New York Post’s Heyman reported on the recruitment of Munnea on the 8th, saying, “The Mets are also in contact with two more FA left-handers, Ryu Hyun-jin and Imana Shota. There is a possibility that the Mets will add more players to the starting rotation, but it is not known whether Ryu Hyun-jin and Imana are still on the Mets’ radar.”

Ryu Hyun-jin made his big league debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2013 and spent 10 seasons on the dream stage until last year. In 186 games, he pitched 78-48, 1055 ⅓ innings, and a 3.27 ERA, successfully building his career. Although the U.S. media always point out that “health is a problem” due to injuries such as shoulder surgery in 2015-2016, and elbow surgery in 2022, he was a veteran left-hander who was more experienced than anyone else when he was healthy. In 2019, his last season with the Dodgers, he peaked at 29 games, 14-5 losses, 182 ⅔ innings, and a 2.32 ERA. As he ranks first in the ERA category in the Major League, he was able to sign a four-year, $80 million (about 105 billion won) FA contract with the Toronto Blue Jays ahead of the 2020 season.

His performance was not bad last year when he returned from surgery. He won three games and lost 52 innings with a 3.46 ERA in 11 games. He was evaluated as a master of ball control by local media in the U.S. and Canada as he installed a new slow curveball to quell concerns about his falling speed. Although he suffered physical deterioration toward the end of the season due to his return from injury, he will be able to prepare for the full time in his normal condition in the new year, which will likely resolve this issue to some extent.

The U.S. media consistently predicted that Ryu Hyun-jin will be able to sign a 1-2-year contract even if he has health issues. Specifically, he predicted that he would be able to sign a contract worth 11 million dollars a year. Considering Ryu Hyun-jin in his prime, it is a poor treatment, but he cannot help but consider his late 30s.

The key will be how far Ryu’s pride will be allowed. Although it is worth living in the U.S., it is difficult to guarantee that he will be able to spend a stable season with the team if he signs a 1-2-year contract. Ryu is likely to be uncomfortable with changing teams every year because he currently has to live with his family in another country.

The Mets have been excluded from Ryu’s list of options, but there are still other MLB teams that want Ryu. The New York-based media Daily Sports reported that if the Yankees fail to recruit top-ranked players in the FA starting pitcher market, they may turn to less interested options such as Brandon Woodruff or Ryu Hyun-jin. “It’s too early to say for sure, but I’ve heard that Ryu is also interested in it,” said an official familiar with the San Diego situation. Both the Yankees and the San Diego Padres desperately need to reinforce their starting pitchers.

Ryu’s choice has become more important. If he persists in the FA market a little longer, he may be able to sign a contract with a major league club, but I wonder how long his pride will allow him to do so.
