"I'm still a competitor...In many ways, we are looking at it positively."

Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop expressed his position on the possibility of recruiting SSG Landers Japanese pitcher Shirakawa.

Doosan will play the second game of three consecutive weekend games against SSG at Jamsil Stadium on the 29th.




SSG's contract with Siraka, who was largely brought in for a short six-week period due to Elias' injury, is set to end. With better-than-expected performances, attention is being paid to whether SSG will keep Shirakawa or choose Elias.

If Shirakawa is released, Doosan is considered a team that can be recruited again. For Doosan, Brandon is currently out due to a shoulder injury. If Shirakawa, who has already proven his performance, comes as Doosan's new short-term replacement, Lee will welcome it with open arms.

Ahead of the game, Lee said, `We are having various meetings with the front desk on foreign pitchers. I don't have time. You have to make a quick choice. I'm looking for a lot of things here and there"I explained the current situation.




He did not deny his interest in Shirakawa. However, he was still cautious as an SSG player. Manager Lee said "I can't give you an answer because I'm still a player on the other team. I think we need to see the SSG decisionEven so, he expressed the nuance that he was evaluating Shirakawa's performance itself well.

Director Lee said "It's all open. It could be another opportunity for us. The mood can be reversed. I'll tell you when the situation is clear" he said.

Of course, this is feasible when SSG chooses Elias instead of Shirakawa, and Shirakawa is willing to play more in Korea. The internal explanation is that there is a good possibility that SSG will choose Shirakawa. Also, even if SSG makes a choice, if Shirakawa wants to return to Japan, it will be useless.




Meanwhile, Shirakawa's Japanese independent league team Tokushima is in a position to fully support whatever decision Shirakawa makes after his contract with SSG expires.
