“Preparing for Ryu Hyun-jin’s return”


Hanwha Eagles are anxiously awaiting the return of ‘monster’ Ryu Hyun-jin (37).


Recently, the story of 'Ryu Hyun-jin's return to Hanwha' continues to be discussed.


Ryu Hyun-jin, who played for the Toronto Blue Jays of the American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) until the 2023 season, was expected to play in the big league again this year. This is because Ryu Hyun-jin's agent, Scott Boras, was vocal about Ryu Hyun-jin's contract.


However, Ryu Hyun-jin has not signed a contract with an MLB club as of the 19th (Korean time). There is no significant news that there is a club in contact with Ryu Hyun-jin in the United States.


Hanwha will gain a lot if Ryu Hyun-jin, who can be a starting pitcher in the big leagues, returns. Not only will the starting lineup become stronger, but it may also have a big impact on young players such as Moon Dong-ju and Kim Seo-hyun.


Hanwha General Manager Son Hyuk is known to have communicated with Ryu Hyun-jin several times since he first spoke with him in December of last year.


A Hanwha insider said, “There has been no progress in negotiations with Ryu Hyun-jin yet. However, we are preparing for when Ryu Hyun-jin comes,” he said.


He continued, “I understand that (the club has set guidelines for contracts). However, I understand that Ryu Hyun-jin is receiving offers from the United States. The decision is made by the player himself. “We are in a waiting position,” he explained.


When he returns, there is a high possibility that he will break the KBO League's all-time record (Doosan Bears Yang Eui-ji's 4+2 years, 15.2 billion won).


A Hanwha official said that if Ryu Hyun-jin comes, he will be a great addition to the team's strength. Although he is old, it is predicted that he can succeed in the KBO.


Ryu Hyun-jin, who graduated from Dongsan High School and debuted in the KBO League with Hanwha in 2006, played with 98 wins, 52 losses, and an ERA of 2.80 over seven seasons. He reigned as Korea's representative pitcher.


Ryu Hyun-jin, who joined the LA Dodgers through the posting system after the 2012 season, posted a career record of 78 wins, 48 ​​losses, and an ERA of 3.27 in the big leagues.


Ryu Hyun-jin did not enter the United States as a free agent. Therefore, if he wants to return to the KBO league, he can only return to his home team, Hanwha. 토토
