Will it be able to be reborn as 'the best cost-effectiveness' from 'the best in the world?'

The aftermath of Kiwoom Heroes' 'Break' is not easily subsiding. In addition to choosing two foreign hitters for next season, I was surprised that Puig and Cadines were at the center of the controversy.

In particular, it's a mess because of Cardinez. The man who changed his name from Cadenas to Cadenas. Samsung Lions fans are boiling over his choice to return.



In fact, as many people know, he is a player who should not return to the KBO League. He came as a substitute for Samsung this season and was kicked out after seven games. It was at the center of the controversy over the injury and was reduced to a rare 'eat and run'.

The player said he was sick, but the club only announced the results of the examination "Safe", so suspicions were bound to grow like a snowball. The conclusion was that he would leave Korea as an irresponsible player.

Kiwoom caught him. Why?It is followed by the label '. Kiwoom was confident that Cardinez definitely recovered after receiving treatment for his sore side, and that he would play well as long as he was not injured. During a video interview with the athlete, he received several definite answers about 'work formula'.

Cardinez's will is evident in his salary. The total is $600,000 (about 800 million won). Compared to other foreign players in the KBO, it is 'Wow Price'. That's a third compared to the $1.8 million top salary for SSG Landers Eredia.



Even when Cardinez came to Samsung as a substitute for about half of the season this year, he signed a $427,000 deal. The $600,000 contract for a full season can be interpreted as a will that players have to recover their honor regardless of money.

If Cardinez shows his slugging power and ability to solve as soon as he joined Samsung this year without injury, there is a good chance that he will literally become a 'strongest cost-effectiveness' player. In the three-day series against the Lotte Giants from July 19, he swept six hits, two homers and five RBIs. If you give 20 to 30 home runs and close to 100 RBIs, it will be a "jackpot".

Kiwoom gave $1 million and $700,000 to not only Cardinez but also 'Wild Horse' Puig and new face pitcher Rosenberg, respectively. The total annual salary of the three is $2.3 million. It is almost equivalent to the ransom of one Eredia. Even after the ransom has risen, we are already curious about what Kiwoom's 2025 season will be like, giving up Heyesus and choosing 'cost-effectiveness'.
