Samsung threw the last game with a foreign batter replacement card.
Samsung recently completed negotiations with new foreign hitter Lewin Diaz.
Born in the Dominican Republic, Diaz was playing in the Mexican league this season. From 2020 to 2022, he played in the Miami Marlins. His overall performance in the three seasons of the Major League was 0.181 with 13 homers and 27 RBIs in 112 games.메이저사이트
It seems that they are going through the process of breaking up with existing foreign batter Ruben Cardenas.
Cardenas replaced David MacKinnon in the Samsung uniform. They all believed that Cardenas would show off his slugging capability at the home run-friendly Daegu Samsung Lions Park. In fact, Cardenas met expectations by hitting hard with .348 batting average, two homers and five RBIs in six games.
However, Cardenas’ attitude has changed 180 degrees since he complained of back pain in the game against KT on April 26. He waited for his return while taking a rest after the hospital checkup. Despite the fact that he was okay during the checkup, the player continued to complain of pain. He started as a pinch hitter on the 6th, but turned around after striking out, and displayed sloppy defense as well. As a result, controversy over his poor performance arose.
The problem was that there was no deadline for when Cardenas’ injury would get better. Samsung couldn’t wait for Cardenas. When he first complained of pain, he listed candidates for foreign players just in case. When the time to make a decision approached, he started the process of replacing them.
However, it is now a race of time. Samsung, which is currently in a dispute over its ranking at the top of the list, needs a foreign hitter who can continue to play in the post season. To do this, Samsung must register by the 15th and issue a work visa. Samsung is attempting to resolve the issue by passing through a third country to bring in Diaz.
For Samsung, replacement is the top solution. Failure to replace him could lead to “awkward companionship” with Cardenas.
As the controversy over Kadenas’ poor performance erupted, some Samsung fans went to his SNS and started posting malicious comments. To defend him, Connor posted a message on social media, saying, “Please consider and understand.” Given this situation, Kadenas also seems to have been hurt a lot.
Meanwhile, Kadenas would be aware of the news that he is looking for a new candidate to replace him. If the replacement fails, it will take a considerable amount of time for Kadenas to mentally renew his commitment.
For Samsung, this means that it has thrown its final shot at winning. Attention is focusing on whether Samsung will be able to use the replacement card for the second time this season. Samsung urgently needs time.
