(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Hyeon-gu = Left-handed pitcher Yang Hyeon-jong (33), who is challenging the American professional baseball (MLB), has held negotiations on the remaining contract with the domestic professional baseball KIA Tigers.
This is because Yang Hyeon-jong, who has a strong willingness to advance overseas, asked KIA head Jo Gye-hyun to wait until the 30th.
On the 20th, Yang Hyun-jong was initially planning to make a decision to challenge the MLB and stay in Korea.
However, it was too disappointing to give up the dream of being the last MLB challenge in a player’s life.
Eventually, Yang Hyeon-jong’s agent, Choi In-guk, Spstarz’s representative, called General Cho to noon and asked him to wait ten more days.
General Manager Jo said, “Hyunjong’s intention to advance into the US was very strong.” I decided to wait for more days,” he said.
Representative Choi In-guk also said, “I was rudely requesting the KIA side, and the KIA team has been grateful to be waiting for me.”
Yang Hyun-jong communicated to a US local contract partner that he would go to the major leagues if only included in the 40-man roster.
In the aftermath of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the order of negotiations for Yang Hyun-jong from abroad was delayed due to the slow progression of active player contracts in the United States.
Yang Hyun-jong, who has earned time, is about to enter Django to advance into the US and remain in Korea after waiting for the big league’s proposal for the time being.
KIA and CEO Choi met twice on the 14th and 19th to negotiate the remainder of Yang Hyeon-jong.
In particular, it is known that the details of the contract were concluded through a marathon negotiation for 6 hours and 30 minutes on the 19th.
Accordingly, if overseas advancement fails, Yang Hyeon-jong is expected to stamp the contract with KIA on the 30th as soon as possible.
