Following outfielder Jeong-hoo Lee (25), San Francisco Giants baseball division president Farhan Zaidi of the Major League Baseball (MLB) signed Cy Young Award winner left-hander Robbie Ray (32), adding an additional outfielder. He said he could do it.On the 10th (Korean time), MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball, reported President Zaidi’s words, “We will have to keep our eyes wide open to see whether the outfield slugger position needed by the club will be filled through internal growth or reinforcement through external recruitment.”
San Francisco, which struggled with weak outfield offense last year, succeeded in achieving ‘accuracy’ by giving Lee Jeong-hoo a large contract worth a total of $113 million over six years. MLB.com pointed out, “San Francisco has not had a hitter exceed 30 home runs since Barry Bonds in 2004,” and added, “New center fielder Lee Jeong-hoo is better known for his accurate hitting than his power ”Outfielder Mitch Haniger, who hit 39 home runs for the Seattle Mariners in 2021, signed a free agent contract with San Francisco in December 2022.
However, Hanniger only hit 6 home runs in 61 games in San Francisco last , and eventually returned to Seattle in exchange for the Ray trade .President Zaidi said, “It is clear that the slugger has disappeared with the Hanniger trade, but it will be an opportunity for prospects to get back to bat,” and also expected the growth of prospects such as Elliott Ramos and Luis Matos.MLB.com mentioned long hitters such as Cody Bellinger, Matt Chapman, Rhys Hoskins, and JD Martinez who are still in the free agent market, and said, “Chapman, who spent time with San Francisco coach Bob Melvin at the Oakland Athletics, is the hitter with 온라인카지노 whom he is most consistently connected.” introduced.
