(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Hyun-gu = Left-handed pitcher Yang Hyun-jong (33), who is challenging the American professional baseball (MLB), is known to have a contract with the Texas Rangers.
Dallas Morning News reporter Evan Grant shared a tweet on his Twitter account that the contract between Yang Hyeon-jong and the Texas club is imminent on the 12th (Korean time), and the Texas club entered the major leagues through the posting system (private competitive bidding) after the 2014 season. He proposed to join Yang Hyun-jong, who was being hit, but introduced that he was rejected.
He also predicted that Yang Hyeon-jong could be another option for the Texas starting rotation this season.
If you look at MLB.com’s depth chart, there are no clear 4-5 starters for Texas.
Texas signed Kohei Arihara, who played for Nippon-Ham Fighters, a Japanese professional baseball game in the offseason, for two years, for a total contract value of 6 to 7 million dollars.
He also sent veteran right-hander Lance Lynn to the Chicago White Sox and brought in Korean pitcher Dane Dunning.
Arihara and Dunning are both right-handed pitchers.
Among the starting pitching candidates, there are only two left-handed candidates, including Wes Benjamin and Colby Olard, who have little experience in the big leagues, so Yang Hyun-jong, who has won 147 wins in the KBO league, could be an alternative to the Texas starter.
Yang Hyeon-jong politely declined the offer of his team’s KIA Tigers to remain and declared a big league challenge.
The split contract (a contract with a different salary when in the major and minor leagues) was also immortal, and only conditions were placed on the 40-man roster. If given the opportunity to play in the big leagues, Bae Ji-jin said that he would overcome the competition with his skills.
