"It was a good stimulus."

The LG Twins named left-hander Choi Chae-heung (29) as a compensation player for FA Choi Won-tae (27) on the 13th.

The Samsung Lions signed a four-year contract with FA Choi Won-tae on the 6th for a total of 7 billion won. It is worth 2.4 billion won in down payment, 3.4 billion won in annual salary, and 1.2 billion won in incentives.

With the recruitment of FAA-grade Choi Won-tae, Samsung has chosen Choi Won-tae's 'Original Team' LG as compensation, including 20 protected players, 200% of the previous salary, or 300% of the previous salary.

LG selected compensation player Choi Chae-heung and 200% (800 million won) in compensation.

Choi Chae-heung wore a Samsung uniform as the first nomination for the 2018 rookie draft. He played in eight games in his first year and had a 4-1 record with a 3.21 ERA, and spent the Career High season with an 11-6 record and a 3.58 ERA in 26 games in 2020. After a slight decline, he posted a one-hold ERA of 6.30 in 14 games this season.'

Unfortunately, he did not make the list of protected players in the end after a year, and LG highly evaluated Choi Chae-heung's chances of rebound and named him a compensation player. At the time of the nomination, LG said, `Choi Chae-heung has enough potential, and he proved his ability by winning 11 games as a starting pitcher in 2020. I expect that I will be able to find my career high in 2020, and if I find myself, I expect that I will be able to take charge of the team's domestic starting position as a young player", he explained.

Colleagues who suddenly said goodbye expressed regret. In particular, Won Tae-in, who joined the team with the first nomination in 2019 following Choi Chae-heung, expressed a special feeling.

Won Tae-in "was a good stimulant. When we went around the starting rotation together in 2020, Chae-heung (Choi) won the most wins in the team's domestic selection. "Because I played as a native ace in our team, I think I was able to grow more by working harder to catch up with it, and I think it was a good stimulus for me."

Won Tae-in's commitment to growth has seen the light of day. Won Tae-in tied for first in multiple wins with Kwak Bin (Doosan) with 15 wins and 6 losses and a 3.66 ERA in 28 games this season. Choi Chae-heung's performance at the time made 'Da-seung king' this year.

Won Tae-in was a pitcher who worked steadily in the starting rotation in 2020. I'm sad, but I also hope it goes well," he wrote in a message of support.

'Joy of joining the army' also did not forget to cheer. Kang Min-ho (39) wore a Samsung uniform as an FA in 2018 when Choi Chae-heung joined Samsung, saying, "Choi Chae-heung seems to have a little intertwined in Samsung. I hope LG will solve it well and become a good player" he said.
