Big league market cold wind… Corona 19 aftermath, 33 years old
Yang Hyun-jong waited until the end of the month and decided to move up… KIA concessions
Elementary team KIA, preparing for at least 4-year multi-year contract

Yang Hyeon-jong, a free agent who declared a re-challenge in the major leagues, will continue to worry until the end of this month by extending the deadline.
KIA, who is doing its best to remain ace, also decided to give it a bit more time.

Yang Hyeon-jong, who achieved 10 wins for 7 consecutive years until last season and re-acquired FA status, initially set today as the deadline for advancement to the major leagues.
This is because, as KIA enters the spring camp from February, I also had to decide where to go at least 10 days in advance.
However, the local situation is not so good with the desire to advance to the big leagues.
As a cold wind blew in the market in the aftermath of Corona 19, it is said that Yang Hyeon-jong did not have the most basic major league status check.
There may be conditions to compete in the local spring camp starting with the minor league, but unlike when you first applied for posting in 2014, the age of 33 is an obstacle.
Accordingly, Yang Hyun-jong decided to observe the situation on the US side more until the 30th, and KIA, the primary team, also happily gave way.
KIA, who has been in contact with Yang Hyun-jong twice with the remainder in mind, is preparing to be treated appropriately for an ace with a multi-year contract of at least 4 years, but the player’s willingness to challenge is still strong.

We are interested in how much the ransom, which was 2.3 billion won last year, if we come back as the parent team, and what kind of ending Hyunjong Yang, who promotes overseas expansion until the end, will be paid attention.
