The 'full guarantee and misinformation' bubble FA market is here to decide the real game...Trying to find the ace of each team

On the 6th, the first day of the opening, SSG Landers Choi Jung (four-year 11 billion won) and KT Wiz Woo Kyu-min (two-year 700 million won) quickly announced their remaining on the original team.
The transfer market began in earnest on the 7th, the second day.
Shim Woo-joon moved his team to Hanwha for 4 years and 5 billion won and Um Sang-baek for 4 years and 7.8 billion won. KT, which lost Shim Woo-joon, recruited Heo Kyung-min for four years and 4 billion won.
On the 10th, Lotte announced its contract with internal FA duo Kim Won-joong (four-year, 5.4 billion won) and Koo Seung-min (two plus two-year, 2.1 billion won).
On the 11th, LG attracted attention by recruiting Jang Hyun-sik on an exceptional condition of guaranteeing the full four-year guarantee of 5.2 billion won.
The overall inflation seems to have been achieved compared to the overall assessment that there is no big enough to change the team's power except for those who are expected to stay such as Choi Jeong. 'Bubble in the air' was not an overstatement of ransom.
Since then, the market has quickly calmed down. On the 22nd, 10 days later, the net FA Noh Kyung-eun signed a 2+1 year and 2.5 billion won remaining contract with his team SSG Landers.
There are 11 FA left in the market. There are still 55% of FA left, but progress is not fast. With key players in place, there is no player who can significantly change the team's power.
Each club's eyes quickly shifted to the foreign market. He is working hard to secure an ace pitcher. More fierce competition is taking place than the FA market.
Already, clubs have moved quickly to catch the first-line issuance starter.

SSG proved the ball of the league's first-innings issuance with an overwhelming 12.3 strikeouts per nine innings, setting a new record of "100 strikeouts in minimum innings in the KBO League." explained the background.
Both White and Anderson are right-handers who throw fast balls and have the ability to become the first starter.
Hanwha Eagles re-signed Ryan Weiss, who recorded 11 quality starts in 16 games as an alternative outsider last year, for up to $950,000 ($150,000 down payment, $600,000 annual salary, $200,000 incentive).

On the 13th, news that right-hander Adam Oler, who played for Miami this season, signed with KIA was reported through CBS Sports and MLB Trade Rumors in the United States. KIA denied the final report, saying, `It's just one of the candidates.'
Meanwhile, it was reported that the LG Twins would recruit Yori Chirinos, a 20-win pitcher in the Major League. Venezuelan right-hander Chirinos is a style that induces ground balls with up to 155km sinkers and splitters and sliders.
Other clubs are also making all-out efforts to renew contracts with key foreigners who played this season or to select ace-class foreigners.
Currently, much more energy and interest are focused on the foreign market than the FA market.
The foreign market is considered one of the most important tasks in the stove league for each club, especially the top teams, in that upgrading the ace-class first and second starters can challenge the championship or fall baseball.
