He's back. Cardenas. No, now it's Cardinez. But before he returns to the KBO League, there is something to be pointed out.
Kiwoom Heroes unveiled foreign players who will play in the 2025 season on the 26th. Breaking the existing trend, he showed an unconventional move to two batters.
Puig was rumored to be coming, so he wasn't much of a surprise. This player 'shocked' Cardine's. I changed my name and came back, but the player didn't change.
Cardinez entered the KBO League this year as an alternative foreign hitter for the Samsung Lions. The registration name of Samsung is Cardenas. I thought he would become a savior for Samsung, which is trying to win the regular season. As soon as he came to Korea, he expressed his willingness to play without warming up, and in the first three consecutive Lotte Giants games, he swept six hits, two home runs and five RBIs, creating a sensation.
However, on July 26, he swung and missed against KT Wiz and caught his waist. He complained of pain, but when Samsung informed him that there was no problem with the results of the hospital examination, it was amplified to 'Taiwan Controversy'. To make matters worse, he completely lost confidence in the game against Hanwha Eagles on August 6 by playing as a pinch hitter and a major defense, and was eventually kicked out after seven games.

However, there is something mysterious and needs to be pointed out. At that time, Samsung announced the injured part of Cardinez with his waist. Since then, Cardenas has a history of spinal anterior dislocation, adding that he may have a lower back problem. However, he stressed that no matter how much MRI examination was performed, there was no problem.
However, when I saw Cardinez at the time, I kept holding his side and having a hard time. Pitcher Connor, who was from the same university and a colleague, also exposed his very uncomfortable feelings through SNS as suspicions grew about Cardenas. There seemed to be an unresolved suspicion between the parties.

The waist and sides are completely different parts. If Kiwoom did not misidentify the injured part of Cardinez, there is a possibility that Samsung made a mistake over the inspection and announcement of the injured part at the time. But the question here is, why didn't Cardinez protest against him if he hurt his side and was sick, who knows everything about his return from Korea.
In the end, the truth is that you have to ask Cardinez about this fact to come up with a definite answer. Indeed, what is the truth of the controversy over injury and neglect.
