ESPN predicted the impact of Ohtani, the biggest player in the free agent (FA) market, on the 8th (Korea time), on the stove league depending on which team he contracts with.
One of the three teams, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto, and the Los Angeles Angels, which are currently negotiating closely with Ohtani, predicted that the contract would be successful, and it would also affect Lee Jung-hoo’s future where the posting system (closed competitive bid) was announced. 토토사이트
ESPN predicted that if Toronto loses Ohtani to the Angels, it will turn to recruiting Lee Jung-hoo.
The media said, “Lee Jung-hoo, who is talented, is a center fielder. He is good at getting on base, can join the Toronto lineup with Bobissette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.,” adding, “If Toronto recruits Lee Jung-hoo, it will be a better team than now.”
“The competition for Lee Jung-hoo is getting fiercer. Major League teams expect Lee Jung-hoo to sign a five-year, $90 million (about 118.6 billion won) contract worth more than Masataka Yoshida, who signed with the Boston Red Sox last year,” he added.
ESPN reported that the Cubs could also connect with Lee Jung-hoo. “If Toronto recruits Ohtani, the Cubs will be the first (FA outfielder) Cody Bellinger. However, if Matt Chapman is brought in (rather than Bellinger) to reinforce the third baseman, the formation of the team could be much easier,” ESPN reported. “In addition, Michael Taylor, Adam Duvall, Kevin Kiermaier, and Harrison Bader could be more suitable as candidates for recruiting outfielders, but Lee Jung-hoo could be more appropriate.”
