(Seoul = News 1) Reporter Hwang Seok-jo = Free agent Yang Hyeon-jong (33), who was promoting advancement to the major leagues, had the first meeting with the original team, KIA Tigers. It has not yet decided whether to remain, but it seems that the door is open to some extent.
KIA Director Jo Gye-hyun said in a phone call with News 1 on the 15th, “I met with Yang Hyun-jong in the working team yesterday (14th). If I stayed in Korea, I talked about remaining on the team.” First of all, we talked about the big frame.”
Yang Hyun-jong, who declared a major league challenge after the 2020 season, is currently watching the movement of the US club. However, it has not yet been presented with specific conditions.
There is a possibility to advance to the Japanese professional baseball, but this is not easy as most Japanese teams are completing recruitment of foreign players.
Yang Hyeon-jong’s side has decided until the 20th as the negotiating Maginot line. I have the idea that this period should not be passed to prepare for the new season. With the remaining five days or so remaining, Yang Hyeon-jong seems to have set out to meet with KIA with the possibility of remaining in mind.
General Manager Cho stressed, “I am sick as a leader, but I have to watch a little more. After the big frame is decided, I will start to negotiate in earnest.”
With Yang Hyun-jong showing his willingness to advance to the big leagues enough to put down detailed conditions such as a job or veto in minor leagues, there is a possibility that a major league move will be decided at the last minute.
However, if the final stay is decided, the KIA club is expected to quickly negotiate.
