Is there a reward player for 'Awesome' in the pitching kingdom.

KT Wiz is the core of this FA market sensation. Park Chan-ho (Doosan), Kang Baek-ho (Hanwha) and Park Hae-min (LG) all participated in the recruitment of big fish players. And he succeeded in recruiting the FA by giving Kim Hyun-soo 5 billion won for three years and 4.8 billion won for four years to Choi Won-joon.

He sent Kang Baek-ho to Hanwha and brought compensation player Han Seung-hyuk. A special must-win team that can stop one inning immediately. KT, which is trying to win next season, smiled at the recruitment of Han Seung-hyuk.




But now it's time to worry. They have to let someone go, too.

Choi Won-joon's compensation player will be decided on the 3rd. Choi Won-joon was in FAA grade. In addition to the 20 protected players, one compensation player and 200% of the previous year's annual salary must be given to Choi Won-joon's original team, the NC Dinos. There is also a 300% annual salary option, but this is unlikely to be chosen by NC. Twenty protected players cannot be combined with all the main players. A good player can come out. Like Han Seung Hyuk.

When most clubs nominate compensation players, they first look for pitchers. The more pitchers there are, the better. NC is a team rich in fielders. Although he failed to catch Choi Won-joon, there does not seem to be a big blow to the outfield power. So he wouldn't have actively jumped in even before recruiting. Of course, he was a player who would be of great help if he had one, but there was no reason to catch him by paying a large amount of money. Of course, it is obvious that he will look toward the pitcher in the designation of compensation players.




But KT is also 'pitcher restaurant'. He has one of the best pitching teams in the league. One or two of the must-win teams can be released, even if they are not the players to be selected immediately. There may be prospects who have not been able to tie up.

NC took over the list of protected players from KT on the 30th. We have to decide on one player by the 3rd. Save 4.8 billion won, and if the main player comes right away, it can be a huge benefit for NC.
