No, when did you trade for good.

Is it urgent as rookie draft is approaching. Or is it a waste to use the designation right when other players are greedy.

Recently, the baseball community is heating up again over the trade from Kiwoom Heroes. At the end of this month, Kiwoom's core powers, which were in last place ahead of the trade deadline, were put up for sale. Names such as closer Cho Sang-woo and 10-win pitcher Heyesus are being discussed. They are resources that cannot help but be greedy if the team is trying to win and fall baseball.

However, there are only rumors, and no actual transactions have been made. There's no such thing as a free lunch. It is the law of the professional world that you have to pay that much to bring such a big player.

Kiwoom sent a promising infielder named Kim Hui-jip to the NC Dinos this season. In the meantime, he has been given the right to nominate the first and third rounds of rookie drafts. This has created a market price. For example, considering the name value of Cho Sang-woo, it is Kiwoom's natural idea that they do not want to send it at a lower value than Kim Hwi-jip.

The problem is that players are greedy, but bleeding beyond that, such as first-round nominations or solid player resources, is scary. Kiwoom's general manager Ko Hyung-wook said, "Trades are made when they fit together. He was adamant, saying, "I'm not going to take the cards I don't want, and I'm not going to give our players away.'

You can look at the current situation like this. He presents a card to Kiwoom, saying he is a good prospect. However, he is only a prospect that he thinks of on the team, but he is not as good as Kiwoom's last name. So Kiwoom would rather get the nomination right and bring the player they like to see themselves. Ko is a general manager who always goes to amateur competitions and works hard on scouting.

"This is the direction our club has set," Ko said. Collecting nomination rights is not a violation of the regulations. However, this does not mean that they only want the right to nominate. If the opponent offers a really good player as a counter-payment, who would say no?" He explained the fundamental situation that the deal does not go through because he only wants to take the player without losing money.

In the meantime, a media outlet reported that there is a move to create a new clause banning consecutive trading of first-round nominations and trading of first-round nominations, citing the words of several KBO league leaders.

In the end, Kiwoom is the target. You may not want to see Kiwoom in the top round of the first round to the third round six times in the rookie draft in September. In addition, Kiwoom may be afraid that it will be in the strong team's ranks years later by sweeping up the top nomination rights.

But the direction was wrong. Kiwoom has not forced the opponent to trade the nomination rights so far, nor is it a small thing. As mentioned above, it is not a violation of the regulations, nor is it an expedient.

In the end, they were in a hurry to perform and needed a player, so it was their will to be passionate about the trade even using the designation right. They take the players when they need to, and now that Kiwoom is doing well, and they feel like they are losing, they try to change the rules against Kiwoom? It can only be seen as a tyranny of large corporate clubs with much better financial conditions than Kiwoom.

Of course, the act of continuing to sell and send key players can cause major problems in their identity as a professional club. Kiwoom's direction cannot be unconditionally supported, but there are also selling clubs in the Major League. What else, in the line of not really completely breaking down the market order??Hyang's team management should be respected.

The KBO Executive Committee was held on the 16th. There were reports before the executive committee, and the issue could be discussed at the executive committee. Head Ko is said to have been preparing hard for the rebuttal in case there is talk. However, it is rumored that no general manager has been able to mention this issue. It may have been prudent to talk about this in front of the general manager Ko, or it may have caught the attention of critical public opinion when the issue emerged. Ko thinks it's not worth responding to this response from other clubs", commented briefly.
