St. Louis, 5:1 trade to sign Oryu
Third baseman Nolan Eylunado (30), who represents the American professional baseball major leagues, wears a St. Louis Cardinals uniform.
MLB.com reported on the 2nd (Korean time) that “Saint Louis recruited Oryu Nado with a 5 to 1 trade.”
St.Louis immediately gave the Colorado Rockies five men: left-handed pitcher Austin Gomber and prospects right-hander Tony Rossi, Jake Somers, infielder Matteo Gil and Elifrys Montero.
Colorado is sending $50 million to St.
St.Louis decided to pay $15 million of Orirnado’s $35 million annual salary in 2021, and the remaining $20 million in installments.
Prior to the 2019 season, the long-term contract with Colorado for a total of $260 million for 8 years was extended by one more year until 2027, but opt-outs that can be exercised after the 2021 and 2022 seasons are over (if the criteria are met The right to terminate the contract and become a free agent) was decided to remain.
He is the top third baseman in the major leagues.
He was particularly strong against Hyunjin Ryu (Toronto Blue Jays) with 16 hits (0.516 batting average), 4 home runs and 10 RBIs.
Oryu-nado, who was a natural enemy of Ryu Hyun-jin, is now a colleague of St. Louis left-hander Kim Gwang-hyun.
After debuting in 2013, Eurasnado has been offering 8 Gold Gloves (2013-2020), 4 Silver Sluggers (2015-2018), and Platinum Gloves given by one player in both leagues for four consecutive years (2017-2020). ) Was suspicious.
In addition, he is a player who has the best defense and attack power in the league enough to become the king of three home runs and two of the RBIs.
However, opinions differ as to whether Oryu Nado will be able to continue this level of activity even after leaving Coors Field, Colorado’s home stadium.
Coorsfield is considered one of the most hitter-friendly stadiums in the Majors.
Because it is located on a high ground, it has less air resistance and increases the hitting distance.
In fact, Error Nado recorded a career OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.985 at Coors Field.
It is a big difference from the expedition OPS of 0.793.
But when you see DJ Lumeihue, who left Colorado and became the best player in the league at the New York Yankees, it doesn’t seem like a big worry.
Crucially, there is a perfect example, Matt Holliday.
After being traded from Colorado to the Oakland Athletics in 2009, Holiday ran only 11 homers and 54 RBIs in 93 games.
However, after moving to St. Louis in July of that year, Holiday revived with 13 homers and 55 RBIs in 63 games.
St. Louis boldly bet $120 million in seven years on Holiday, who became a free agent, and Holiday became a model free agent.
Holiday played a batting average of 0.313 in his first year of free agency, with 28 homers and 103 RBIs.
At the time, Holiday’s age was 30, which is the same as that of Oryu Nado this season.
Holiday playing for more than seven years for St. Louis led the team to the 2011 and 2013 district championships, and in 2011 reached the top of the World Series.
If Owisnado meets the contract term with St.Louis, she wears a St.Louis uniform for one more year than Holiday.
