"CEO, the general manager is showing his will."

The Samsung Lions caught Choi Won-tae as an outside FA on the 6th. It is a condition of up to 7 billion won for four years. The signing was completed on the condition of 2.4 billion won in down payment, 3.4 billion won in annual salary for four years, and 1.2 billion won in incentives for four years.

Samsung, which finished the season as the runner-up in the Korean Series, felt the need to strengthen the stove league mound again this year following last year and actually moved. It finally succeeded in recruiting Choi Won-tae, a clear starting card that was classified as a 'A-class resource'.




In addition, he filled the remaining seats of foreign pitchers. Samsung, which had been troubled by Conor Seabold's injury this postseason, caught Ariel Furado, a foreign pitcher who failed to renew his contract with the Kiwoom Heroes. Furado was classified as a new foreign player and signed the maximum amount of $1 million guaranteed.

As a result, Samsung will have at least four top starters, including Danny Reyes and Furado, who have renewed their contracts, and Won Tae-in and Choi Won-tae.

After hearing the news of Choi Won-tae's recruitment, Won Tae-in " (Even with Choi Won-tae), nothing changes for me. My job is the same. To be honest, it doesn't make sense to share responsibility, and I think that if I do the same coaching as I have done so far, it will create synergy and have a good effect on the team's performance" he said.

However, expectations for team performance are high enough. Won Tae-in said "Hurado came, and did you hold Choi Won-tae in the rotation??I think I'll do better on the door. In the short-term game, we felt that we lacked a starting pitcher. I think it was very difficult, but I think it would be a little more advantageous for our team in that regard if we enter the fall baseball league next year" expressed anticipation.

He is also well aware of his will and desire to win the championship. Won Tae-in seems to be showing a lot in the stove league. It seems to be passed down to the squad as well. We've had failures at this year's threshold, so we're getting even more greedy. I want to win next year"I personally haven't won a championship other than the Asian Games since I was in middle school. I can't wait to try it"I strengthened my strong will.
