🚨OFFICIAL
The Hanwha Eagles sign Troy Watson as a new foreign pitcher. Watson has no MLB experience, but has a solid resume of a 3.87 ERA through 8 MILB seasons
🚨BREAKING
Ahead of the new era of the SSG Landers, featuring a brand new stadium complex very soon, the Landers are expected to push big and spend big money in FA
Ahead of this, the Landers have CUT TIES with their GM
A new GM will be in the fold asap
Koo Ja-wook is the reigning batting champ, and korean series MVP
I think the Bears will sign him to a contract upwards of 30% of the salary cap
(Yang Eui-ji is set as their 1 ‘franchise player’, so his cap hit is closer to 15% than 30%)
Lots of moving factors
I have a strong feeling the Doosan Bears will make a mega move to acquire reigning champion superstar LF Koo Ja-wook in FA
I expect the Doosan Bears to break the current FA record contract, set by themselves, to Yang Eui-ji (4+2 year contract worth nearly 30% of the salary cap)

Under the salary cap, each team is allowed to designate 1 player as a franchise player in which his cap hit is only 50% towards the cap, this will help franchises keep their star player and build around them too
🚨The reigning champs seem to have set a massive set of funds to re sign their two face of the franchise FA’s
However, there’s growing speculation that Ace Won Tae-in will head to either MLB or NPB
The Lions have said they’re prepared to utilize their ‘1 designated player’ here

🚨FINAL
It only took 5, as the Lions won all 3 of their home games following a game 2 victory leading to 4 consecutive wins over the regular season champion KT Wiz
Well deserved, and credit to KT on a tremendous performance this season
I am hearing some rumblings regarding a potential big name former MLB star coming to the KBO
We’ve seen Carlos Carrasco come, who has a big resume
This pitcher has finished top 5 in the NL cy young voting multiple times in his mlb career
It seems this team, whom missed out on the playoffs, is trying do do what doosan did after missing the playoffs last season, by making a splash in FA. It’s only the beginning, as their new stadium is almost finished
Game 4 lineups are in!
Jang Jin-hyuk gets a surprise start in LF for the Wiz while the Lions hand the ball to 19 year old rookie RHP Jang Chan-hee
First pitch is just an hour away
🚨FINAL FROM GAME 3
Back to back wins puts the Lions in prime position to take a clear advantage in this series with back to back home games coming up. The Lions will try to not head back to KT and finish this in 5 at home
Game 3 tonight will see the series flip to the home of the Lions, whom have games 3,4,5 all at home
If we head to a 6th and 7th game, the Wiz will host either of those
🚨EXCL:
The NC Dinos have submitted a contract offer to a foreign player.
From what i’ve gaged there is a mutual interest in getting things signed, so I do expect things to progress quickly
However, the player may want to gauge MLB offers first, we will see
Game 1 and 2 have both been decided by 1 run scores, but both games were very different
Game 1 say 8 runs consecutively by kt followed up 7 unanswered runs by samsung
Game 2 was a low scoring game, needing extra innings
Both teams scored 1 run in the 10th inning
