Mario Sanchez, a Venezuelan pitcher who played for the KIA Tigers as a substitute for the 2023 season, was released by the Jungshin Brothers of the Taiwan Professional Baseball (CPBL).
According to the report 'CPBL Stat' on the 23rd, Sanchez was replaced on April 30 due to right shoulder pain during the mound. Since then, he has received injection treatment, but his condition has not improved.
The mid-career club, which had put Sanchez on the injured list, made a decision on June 20 to remove Sanchez from the active roster. As a result, Sanchez will not be able to play in the CPBL first team for the rest of this season.
Your shoulders look unusual. When his condition did not improve despite receiving treatment for nearly two months, the Jungshin club, which cannot wait any longer, made a decision.
In an interview with `CPBL Stat```````````````````````````. The roster needs to be confirmed for the second half of the season. I need to discuss the future with Sanchez", he explained.
The problem is that Jungshin signed a two-year contract with Sanchez. Sanchez, who failed to renew his contract with KIA after the 2023 season, returned to Taiwan. He pitched in 26 games last season with the Uni Lions, recording an outstanding 14-5 record with a 2.49 ERA. Uni hoped to renew the contract, but Jungshin offered a bigger condition.
Jungshin gave Sanchez the highest treatment in the league with a guaranteed amount of more than $1 million for two years of contract. However, Sanchez's shoulder injury caused him to lose his power about a month after the opening of this season. The damage to the club is also enormous.
