Seo Geon-chang released from LG Twins.

A lot of attention is focused on the free agent market, which is worth billions of won, but the 'small free agent market', which is home to many veterans who once dominated the league, is also worth noting. Although it is difficult to immediately expect the same performance as before, unexpected results may be achieved through ‘low cost and high efficiency’.

Several high-profile veterans hit the market this offseason. There is a movement to lower the overall salary with the cap on total team salaries (salary cap) introduced this year, and this is due to the effect of some teams entering 'rebuilding'.

Pitcher Song Eun-beom was released from LG.

The winning team, LG, released infielder Seo Geon-chang (34) and right-hander Song Eun-beom (39). Neither of them contributed much to the first team this season, but the team won, so it was burdensome for LG to carry them.

SSG Landers, where the wind of change is blowing, including a change in manager, released veteran catcher Lee Jae-won (35) and left-hander Lim Jun-seop (34). Jaewon Lee signed a free agent contract after contributing to the team's championship in 2018, but continued to perform poorly, and Junseop Lim also did not perform impressively in the pursuit group this season.

Hanwha Eagles outfielder Noh Soo-gwang (33), pitcher Kim Jae-young (30), and KT Wiz infielder Lee Sang-ho (34) are also names that have been frequently seen in the first team.

Most of them are over 30 years old and their skills are declining from their peak, so it is not easy to expect a rebound.

However, these are all players who were once regular players in the first team.

Among them, Seo Geon-chang had 200 hits and was named Most Valuable Player (MVP) while playing for Nexen Heroes (now Kiwoom), and Song Eun-beom was also a member of the 'SK Dynasty'. 카지노사이트랭크

Catcher Lee Jae-won left SSG Landers.

Lee Jae-won was also a League A catcher who once won a free agent contract worth more than 6 billion won.

Once motivation and a new environment are provided, it can be expected that the 'final spark' will ignite.

There are many cases where a player successfully rebounded by finding a new team after being released. A representative example is Lim Chang-min (38), who declared free agency this off-season.

Lim Chang-min served as the NC Dinos' closing pitcher and was notified of his release after completing the 2021 season. Afterwards, he joined the Doosan Bears in 2022, but was released again and transferred to Kiwoom ahead of this season. 섯다
