"Korean duo" Lee Jung-hoo (San Francisco Giants) and Kim Ha-sung (San Diego Padres) were injured together on "American Mother's Day."

Lee Jung-hoo may be on the verge of a season-out.

 

Lee Jung-hoo started as the first batter center fielder in a home game against the Cincinnati Reds at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, on the 13th (Korea time), but was replaced early after getting injured while defending.

 

Lee, who was chasing Jaymer Candelario's homerun ball with the bases loaded with two outs in the top of the first inning, jumped to catch the ball, but collided with the fence and collapsed. After complaining of shoulder pain, Lee was replaced immediately by Tyler Fitzgerald.

 

Initially, the diagnosis revealed that it was a sprained left shoulder. However, it has been confirmed that it is a dislocated shoulder.

 

MLBTR added, "Lee will have an MRI to check the severity of his injury, but if his dislocation gets worse, it could jeopardize the season." He could be out for the season.

 

Lee Jung-hoo is also concerned as he underwent shoulder surgery in the KBO League in 2018.

 

After suffering from hamstring and other injuries in the Major League Baseball exhibition game, he missed three consecutive games after being bruised by his left foot by a foul ball against the Colorado Rockies on May 9 (Korea time).

 

And on the 13th when he returned, he suffered another dislocated left shoulder.

 

Kim Ha-sung will enter the FA market after this season.

Having signed a four-year, $28 million contract four years ago, he is determined to hit the jackpot properly this time.

 

U.S. media outlets estimate Kim Ha-sung's value from $120 million to $200 million. Everyone agrees on the $100 million range.

 

Usually, players who are about to participate in an FA tournament work harder that year. This is to take the lead in negotiations.

 

That was the case with Choo. After signing a one-year contract with the Cincinnati Reds in 2013, he signed a seven-year, 130-million-dollar contract with the Texas Rangers.

 

On the other hand, some players suffered a setback due to injury ahead of the FA. Choi Ji-man is a good example.

 

Choi became a free agent ahead of this season, but missed too many games due to injury in 2023. His performance was also not good. He was humiliatingly humiliatingly signing a minor league contract, not a major league contract.

 

Kim Ha-sung is in a different situation. He is still young and has accumulated records over the past three years, so it is certain that he will be popular in the FA market. 토토사이트 순위

 

However, if there are many games that have been missed due to injury, it can be disadvantageous in contract negotiations.

 

Injuries cannot be avoided, but caution must always be exercised. Nor should he exert excessive play. If he maintains the current status quo, he will be able to display a "jackpot."

 

Meanwhile, Dodgers Nation recently reported that Kim Ha-sung said he wanted to play for the Dodgers during the Seoul Series. He also claimed that he was considering replacing an agent ahead of the FA.

 

The Dodgers is currently leaving Mookie Betts as its shortstop, but the prevailing view is that this is only a stopgap measure and that it will go all-in on recruiting its main shortstop during the offseason. This is why some predict that Kim Ha-sung could be the target.
