Another controversy over 'employment fraud'...Is it Cadenas' TAEHYUN or is it a cultural difference

What choice will be the right answer for the Samsung Lions.
Samsung is struggling. The ambitious new foreign batter is unable to do this or that as the store is closed for dubious reasons.
It looks like you've crossed a river that you can't come back to. Cardenas. As soon as he wore his Samsung uniform, he seemed to lead Samsung's challenge to win the regular season with a huge home run show, but he disappeared by holding his waist.
Coach Park Jin-man, who couldn't put up with it anymore, sent him out as a pinch hitter against the Hanwha Eagles on the 6th, but he completely lost his sight by striking out and even defending for a walk. I can understand taking a rest because I'm sick, but if you make such a lush play in a defense that went out for a while, no one can give the player a good impression.
It is the `Myung and Cancer' of the KBO League foreigners system. It's good for high-quality players to improve their league competitiveness. However, when it is forgotten, this 'Taup controversy' pops up. Burch Smith, who threw 60 pitches and left the Hanwha Eagles due to injury in just one game in last year's opening game, is a representative example. Hanwha awarded Smith a total of $1 million. Since players are precious, they often reduce the proportion of options and increase the amount of guarantees. It's like sending hundreds of millions of won into the sky in vain.

Looking at foreign players in this standard, conflicts and conflicts arise. The same was true of this year's Doosan Bears ace Alcantara Gunn. No matter how much the examination goes, there is no big abnormality, but the player refused to take the mound because he was sick, so coach Lee Seung-yeop, who was only good, expressed his discomfort. Last year, LG Twins ace Plutko also left the team after controversy over the batting. (Flatko had surgery later.) NC Dinos 'Super Ace' Peddy also saved himself in the postseason.
A club official familiar with the situation of foreign players said "Basically, the idea itself is different. Recently, the level of players coming to Korea has increased. There are many players who want to challenge the Major League again. They think of their bodies as assets. They don't put much weight on the options in front of them, and if they have any problems with their bodies for a bigger challenge next year, they don't overdo it. There will probably be no players who do not get sick at all. Obviously, there is a little discomfort or discomfort, but there is a difference in accepting it,' he diagnosed. Let's say a player came with the goal of renewing his contract in the KBO League. I wonder if I can look like this.
In addition, he added that Samsung's performance is good and the ranking fight at the end of the season is too fierce, and the problem seems to be more prominent because it is not easy to bring in a new player. However, the official also stressed that `I don't think Cardenas is going to play such a game (against Hanwha)."
