Oh Seung-hwan said, "LG is also burdened.. But what if Park Byung-ho gets better

The baseball community is paying keen attention to who the LG Twins will point to as a reward player for 'FA Choi Won-tae'. The Samsung Lions announced on the 6th that they signed a four-year contract with Choi Won-tae for a total of 7 billion won. LG can take one compensation player in addition to 20 protected players in Samsung.
There is a possibility that Samsung's 20 protective players may be excluded from Oh Seung-hwan and Park Byung-ho, the national slugger.
Twenty people are quite tight. If you add one or two main players to the nine main players and one or two main backup players, you can't tie up even 10 pitchers.
Oh Seung-hwan and Park Byung-ho will nod even if they are not included in the 20 players coldly at the moment, excluding their careers and names.
Just in time, LG needs to reinforce its bullpen. FA Jang Hyun-sik was recruited, but closer Yoo Young-chan was put on the operating table. LG is knocking on the FA market again. In the midst of this, there is no reason not to pick a decent bullpen agent among Samsung's compensation players. Oh Seung-hwan is a very mouth-watering big fish.
However, even if the two are resolved, it is also unclear whether LG will nominate them.
First, Oh Seung-hwan is the symbol of Samsung. When it comes to LG, it is the same as Lee Byung-kyu (current second division coach) Park Yong-taek. I made a reservation for Samsung's permanent number.
In the professional world, no matter how business it is, transfers and contracts are also what people do after all. From LG's point of view, it is not easy to bring Oh Seung-hwan, who played 14 seasons in Samsung alone (excluding overseas leagues).
As speculation grew rampant, Samsung began to evolve. An official from the Samsung team said to Sports Chosun on the 8th, `We will not exclude iconic legends such as Oh Seung-hwan from the protected players.'

Samsung must first protect catcher Kang Min-ho and Lee Byung-hun among the fielders. There is little possibility that Koo Ja-wook, Kim Ji-chan, Lee Jae-hyun, Kim Young-woong, Lee Sung-kyu, Yoon Jung-bin, and Kim Sung-yoon will be released. Park Byung-ho is on the cut line.
Park Byung-ho has a light Samsung color. Even Park started his professional career at LG.
Since his debut with LG in 2005, Park has been in the spotlight as a promising player. In the end, he failed to burst his potential and ended up wearing a Nexen (current Kiwoom) uniform through a trade that will go down in history in 2011. Since then, Park has recorded more than 30 home runs for six consecutive years, becoming the best slugger in Korea, and went to the Major League.
Park Byung-ho was rather a symbol of Kiwoom, not LG, but left for KT through FA after the 2021 season. In 2024, as it was traded back to Samsung, the feeling of 'one club man' has long disappeared. You can also take care of the romantic cause of returning to your home.
Park Byung-ho will turn 39 next year, but he still boasts punch power. It is a right-handed gun that LG, which seeks to regain the presidential election, wants to wear at least once. The infield defense has a reputation for being solid. LG is fully capable of using it as a Joker card.
Of course, this is also close to imagination. LG seems to be avoiding the aging of the team. It is said that he prefers players who are young and have potential for development rather than immediate power when they are older.
