Yang Hyun-jong plans to pursue a contract that includes the condition of ’40-person roaster guarantee’ by the end of this month.
After that, even by operating’Plan B’, I am firming up my determination to catch the eyes of the manager at the spring camp after signing with a major league club.
“If the 40-person roster is not guaranteed, the US agent is also holding back. It’s too hard to go with such a contract… (Yang Hyun-jong) The focus is on the purpose of going unconditionally.”
It is noteworthy what the conclusion of Yang Hyun-jong’s decision to choose the dream of a major leaguer after leaving his 14-year companion with KIA behind.
