[스포츠서울 장강훈기자] The vacant seat of’Great pitcher’ Yang Hyeon-jong is large. Voices are growing in anticipation of the move to KIA such as Cha Woo-chan, who has not signed a free agent (FA), and Yu Hee-gwan. This time, the KIA club is holding the hilt, and the results draw attention.

KIA coach Matt Williams began conducting the spring camp in Gwangju-KIA Champions Field on the 1st. Director Williams has already heard the news of Yang Hyeon-jong’s departure and expressed deep regret. He told reporters that day, “We are reviewing various options to fill the vacancy of Yang Hyun-jong such as FA and trade.” Since it cannot be calculated with the available resources, it can be seen as a pressure to transfuse a proven pitcher. The front desk, who could not completely shake off the shock of Yang Hyun-jong’s departure, was also plagued with questioning.

KIA General Manager Gye-Hyun Jo, who has the authority to form a squad, said, “From a coach’s point of view, it is an opinion that can be sufficiently expressed,” and “There is no proposal from unsigned FAs to us.” He said, “If you evaluate your team’s player composition, etc., in the long run, it is much better for young pitchers to grow through competition.” At first glance, it may be interpreted as not reviewing the recruitment of external free agents, but it also sounds like a suggestion from the player’s side that can be reviewed. In this case, contract period, ransom price, health, etc. act as variables. Both Yoo Hee-gwan and Cha Woo-chan have received proposals from the original team. It is known that Cha Woo-chan received 1 year and Yu Hee-gwan received 1+1 year.

Both have a ransom price of 1 billion won. However, in order to recruit Cha Woo-chan, a maximum annual salary of 2 billion won must be paid to LG as compensation. Since Yu Hee-gwan is A grade, it has to pay up to 1.4 billion won as compensation. Cha Woo-chan’s physical condition is difficult to secure, and Yu Hee-gwan has limitations in its use. If you think only from the KIA’s point of view, you will be asked whether you need to bear the bleeding. Considering the reasons for not signing a contract with the original club until the start of Spring Camp, KIA is made more conservative.

Of course, there is a possibility that a proven left-handed starting pitcher will be needed in the process of going through a long and regular season. This is a separate problem from recruiting outside free agents. If you minimize the opponent’s bleeding with a breakthrough idea in the elemental team, if you look calmly, it seems unlikely that the two will go to KIA.
