LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop drew a line on the trade theory that is heating up online.

Rumors that they are discussing trade among teams that played practice games in Okinawa, Japan, are spreading rapidly online as the names of players have been mentioned in detail. And among them was LG. What LG wants is a veteran catcher.




LG has recruited veteran catchers such as Lee Sung-woo and Heo Do-hwan and used them as backup catchers behind Park Dong-won of Yoo Kang-nam, who was the main catcher. The veteran catcher played a role in stabilizing the mound by playing a major role behind the main catcher, which affected his good performance. But it doesn't help young catchers grow.

Therefore, LG made a bold decision not to renew the contract with veteran catcher Heo Do-hwan after the end of last season to raise prospects. However, it seems that it doesn't make sense to bring back a veteran catcher now.

Currently, LG has selected fourth-year catcher Lee Joo-heon, who joined the team in 2022, as its second catcher Park Dong-won, and is making him gain experience in exhibition games.




Coach Yeom said "There is no trade discussion at the moment" when asked about the trade while talking about giving Lee Joo-heon experience through many appearances in the exhibition game before the exhibition game against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 11th. dismissive of the usual rumors.

Coach Yeom continued "When Park Dong-won is seriously injured, Joo-heon is hard alone when he can't play for a month or two. In that case, I think we need a third catcher. "In the past, when I was at Nexen, I started the season as a rookie catcher Kim Jae-hyun," he said, indicating that a trade is not essential.

LG's general manager Cha Myung-seok confirmed, `We have never discussed a trade and there is no trade we are currently pursuing.'
