A number of news reports have emerged regarding Lewin Diaz, 28. He even got a visa. He could have announced it now. Samsung is still quiet. It is surprised to see Rubin Cárdenas (27). This is why we need to be cautious. We need to be “quick” more than ever, but we also need to be “cautious” at the same time.
Samsung will bring Diaz as replacement for Cardenas. He boarded a plane to Korea on July 13. When Cardenas felt back pain while swinging on April 26, he immediately started moving. Replacement work is nearing completion in a little more than two weeks.스포츠토토
It was more urgent than ever. It was even more so because there was a clear deadline of “August 15,” unlike the early and mid-season of the season. “We are recruiting Diaz,” he explained on Wednesday. He played for Miami in the Major League from 2020 to 2022. He played in the Mexican League in 2024.
He has power. He had eight homers in 40 games in 2021 and five in 58 games in 2022. He had a batting average of 0.376 with 19 homers and 77 RBIs in this year’s Mexican League. Being a left-handed first baseman is also a good factor for Samsung.
However, Samsung did not set a nail in the coffin. It is because of his visa. He must register by July 15 to play in the fall baseball. It would be meaningless if he fails to meet the deadline.
Samsung said, “I’m doing my best. I’m looking into many ways.” A day later, on the 13th, Diaz got on the plane after completing visa issuance. It has cleared away concerns that it could be late.
It seemed that he was on a route to Korea after getting a visa from nearby places such as Japan and Hong Kong. No. There was a faster way. He got a visa from Mexico at all. It is not a common case. This means that Samsung was in a hurry and looked for various ways.
Everything has been announced. There is no official announcement yet. “I think we need to finish everything to make an official announcement,” a Samsung official said. “It shouldn’t be like Cádenas. It’s getting serious. We have to finish checking things.”
Actually, Kadenas is also a rookie. He signed a contract on April 10. He registered on July 16 after going through administrative process. He started playing games from July 19. He played a total of seven games. There are five matches he played properly.
He hit a 140-meter home run and even a walk-off cannon. He said he got the big gun that Samsung wanted. Afterwards, he felt back pain after swinging at the first batter’s box against KT on July 26. It is the beginning of everything.
I thought I would be back soon. The examination found no major problems. However, Cadenas continued to feel pain. Coach Park Jin-man’s mood also became uncomfortable. He played as a substitute on the 6th. He was struck out due to an ambiguous swing, and he failed to respond properly in defense.
Then it was canceled on July 7. His performance did not improve at all. “It is not a poor job,” the club said. It is a problem that he is not cooperating. If recruitment of new foreign players failed until July 15, he had to move to the Cadenas eventually.
Samsung, which has been busy, brings Diaz. I’m worried if there will be another problem. If there is something wrong with Diaz, he has to play the rest of the season without any foreign hitters and even play fall baseball.
Medical examinations will be conducted once in Korea and once in the field. He will likely undergo a medical examination immediately after his arrival in Korea on Wednesday. He needs to pass the examination to see if he or she can pass the examination. Only then will the announcement be made. “Be careful again.”
