Can the Doosan Bears, who suffered the bleeding of two internal FA players in the stove league, erase the gap with the performance of a new foreign trio.

Doosan didn't let any of its internal resources that applied for free agency after the end of this season. Huh Kyung-min, who signed a 4+3 year contract with Doosan in his first free agency contract, opted for a new market evaluation rather than an option after the end of his four-year contract this year, and left the team by signing a four-year free agent contract worth a total of 4 billion won (approx. Kim Kang-ryul, a bullpen pitcher who once served as Doosan's closing pitcher, also transferred to the rival LG Twins on a 3+1 year deal worth up to 1.4 billion won (approx.

Heo Kyung-min had a batting average of 0.309 (129 hits in 417 at-bats) with seven homers, 61 RBIs and 69 runs scored with an OPS of 0.811 in 115 games for Doosan this year. After overcoming sluggish performance last year, Kim Kang-ryul played in 53 games this season with two wins, two losses and one save, 12 holds, and an ERA of 3.00. Their absence was not a small loss.

Worse yet, even veteran shortstop Kim Jae-ho announced his intention to retire and left the team, putting Doosan in a position to make a new infield base. Kim Jae-ho has played 326 innings this year, the third-highest total in his team as a shortstop.

Doosan's young infield resources to replace the position next season include Park Joon-young (27), Lee Yoo-chan (26), Park Ji-hoon (24), Oh Myung-jin (23), Yeo Dong-gun (19), Im Jong-sung (19), rookie Park Joon-soon (18), and Ahn Jae-seok (22), who is scheduled to be discharged from active duty in July next year. All must be promising resources, but it is true that Doosan, which is looking at more than autumn baseball next season, is less stable than other positions.

Meanwhile, Doosan has made efforts to recruit new foreigners when other competitors are focusing on the internal FA market. Starting with Cole Irvin, who has a lot of experience as a starting pitcher in the Major League Baseball on April 15, Thomas Hatch, who once tied with Ryu Hyun-jin, and Jake Cave, who hit 45 home runs in the MLB, have all completed the formation of a foreign trio. All three players were awarded a "full guarantee of 1 million dollars."

Afterwards, however, Hatch had a problem during the medical test, and Doosan terminated its contract with Hatch and hired a new foreign pitcher worth a total of 800,000 dollars. Doosan, which replaced all foreign players during the season due to injury and poor performance this year, carefully tried not to make the same mistake next year. 토토사이트

Now, the key is whether the foreign trio will display as much performance as Doosan has worked hard on. Doosan, which ranked fifth in the regular season last year and fourth this year, marks the last year of Lee Seung-yeop's contract. Attention is focusing on whether Doosan will be able to see a higher ranking thanks to foreign players' performance in the upcoming season.
