[서프라이즈(애리조나주)=스포츠서울 문상열전문기자] “SK Wyverns!”
This was the first word from Texas Rangers Rich Rice Public Relations Manager who saw Korean reporters at Arizona Surprise Spring Training, referring to former Texas Rangers Shin-soo Choo’s KBO League contract. Rice’s public relations manager told SK, not Shinsegae, as if he did not know that SK Wyverns was sold as a Shinsegae company.
Choo Shin-soo (38)’s trip to Shinsegae in the KBO League is also of great interest locally. MLB.COM has dealt with Choo Shin-soo’s transfer greatly. Choo Shin-soo’s transfer was also mentioned in a video interview by Chris Woodward of Texas Rangers on the 24th (Korean time).

In fact, Choo Shin-soo is among the free agents in 2020-2021. Choo Shin-soo was the only free agent who had contracted more than $100 million ($130 million). Once voted All-Star, he spent seven years in Texas at a ransom price of $130 million. Texas reporters were forced to mention Choo Shin-soo in the zoom interview. In a word, it’s because he’s a big guy. The contract with the MLB team was missed due to his age as a stumbling block, but the meaning is special in that he extended his active life. MLB players also declare retirement when they get older and cannot sign free agency.
Shin-soo Choo debuted at the Seattle Mariners in 2005 and was traded to the Cleveland Indians, where baseball blossoms. For 16 years, he spent 2 years in MLB in Seattle, 7 years in Cleveland, 1 year in Cincinnati, and 7 years in Texas. The ransom became free agent and received the most money in Texas, but Cleveland was in its heyday. Texas has the highest number of games. He batted 0.260 homers, 114 RBIs, 355 stolen bases, 52 runs and 464 runs in Texas in 799 games. Cleveland batted 0.292 homers, 83 RBIs, 372 stolen bases, 85 runs and 389 runs in 686 games.

Although Choo Shin-soo is not a Hall of Fame player, where is the team of his heart? Cleveland or Texas.
