A shocking joint rebate between manager and general manager

    Shock incident from KIA, baseball will be ruined if things continue like this. This is hard news to believe.  The current manager is in danger of being arrested.  After receiving a shocking dismissal, I stand in the photo line.  It is a charge of breach of trust.  It means that you received money you shouldn't have received.  So the baseball world and fans were even more shocked. KIA Tigers coach Kim Jong-guk appears at the Seoul Central District Court on the 30th.  This is for the substantive examination of the warrant.  A whirlwind 48 hours have passed.  On the 28th, KIA suddenly announced the suspension of Director Kim.  This is because I learned that Director Kim was under investigation in connection with receiving bribes. Still, it ended with the suspension of his duties.  This is because Director Kim claimed innocence and needed time to understand the exact situation.  However, the prosecution did not give KIA and Director Kim any breathing room.  An arrest warrant was im

Not everyone did well. Other than Peña, there were no regulation innings.”

would like to say I am very grateful to the (SK Wyverns and SSG Landers) fans. “I can give generously in response to questions (asked by junior players).” Kim Kang-min, who is making a new start for the Hanwha Eagles, expressed his gratitude to the fans of his former team and promised to show the dignity of a veteran. Kim Kang-min, who was called by SK (now SSG) as the 18th overall player in the second round in 2001, played only for SSG until last season. With not only a stable defense, but also quick feet and sharp hitting ability, he contributed greatly to SK and SSG's reign as strong teams in the league. His career records include a batting average of 0.274 (1,470 hits in 5,364 at-bats), 138 home runs, 674 RBI, and 209 stolen bases in 1,919 appearances. Kim Kang-min made his first transfer in baseball through the second draft held in November of last year. He was nominated by Hanwha, which was looking at veterans for the opportunity to be additionally nominated in the 4th round.

We need to recruit a player like Son Heung-min who can bring change to the team!”

  Dwight Yorke, who played for Manchester United, wants a player like Son Heung-min. Soccer media outlet 'Team Talk' reported on the 21st (Korean time), "A former Manchester United player urged manager Erik ten Haag to cut ties with Anthony for the good of the team." Anthony joined Manchester United last season.  The transfer fee alone was a whopping 95 million euros (about 138 billion won).  He had great expectations, but only scored 10 goals and 5 assists in 47 games.  Considering the transfer fee, it was a somewhat disappointing performance. The slump is severe this season.  He appeared in 22 games and did not create a single offensive point.  He played 1,234 minutes but did not have any notable performances.  He is naturally criticized by Manchester United seniors. Yorke, who once played as a striker at Manchester United, spoke bitterly about Anthony.  He scored 66 goals and 32 assists in 152 games for Manchester United. He has experience winning the English Premi

The latest goal scored with a dramatic equalizer at 102 minutes and 7 seconds.

  Sheffield United grabbed two points and a record with a dramatic goal in extra time in the second half. On the 21st (Korean time), Sheffield, who played the 21st round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (PL) at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England, drew 2-2 with West Ham United.  Sheffield added one point and remained in 20th place in the league (10 points), while West Ham remained in 6th place (35 points). Sheffield drew after a fierce battle.  In the 28th minute of the first half, Danny Ings' shot bounced off the defense and Maxwell Corne put West Ham ahead, and Sheffield took the lead in the 44th minute when Alphonso Areola's header from William Ossula was hit by Ben Brereton Dias. I added it and struck a balance. West Ham took the lead again in the 34th minute of the second half with a penalty kick goal by James Ward-Prowse.  Sheffield continued to try to score, but the situation took a turn for the worst when Rhian Brewster, who was brought in to strengthen the attack

The powerhouses have lost face since the first edition of the Asian Cup

  In short-term matches, even strong teams often fall victim to unexpected events.  The Korean men's national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, must also not let down its guard.  In the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, which opened on the 13th, a situation in which the Kanghongs lost face occurred from the first match of the group stage, creating tension in Korea. China in Group A drew 0-0 with Tajikistan in the first match of Group A of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup group stage held at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar on the 13th (local time). It was an embarrassing game for China.  Tajikistan, ranked 106th in the FIFA rankings, was a representative 'football outskirt' of Asia, to the extent that this was its first Asian Cup final stage.  It was a game that China, ranked 73rd in the FIFAI rankings, had to win, having advanced to the quarterfinals in the last tournament. But when I opened the lid, I got the opposite result.  On this day,

The first 200-hit record holder released, is there a chance for his honor to be restored?

 Even after reuniting with his teacher, there was no rebound in the end. Will Seo Geon-chang (34), who is now ‘free’, have a chance to bounce back? On the 25th, the deadline for submission of pending players, LG announced 12 players excluded from the list of pending players. Pitcher Song Eun-beom, Lee Chan-hyuk, Kim Tae-hyung, Sung Jae-hyeon, Lim Jeong-woo, infielders Seo Geon-chang, Jeong Ju-hyeon, Kim Seong-hyeop, Choi Hyun-jun, and outfielders Lee Cheon-woong, Choi Min-chang, and Lee Cheol-min were notified of their release. Last April, Lee Cheon-woong was investigated by the police on charges of illegal Internet gambling and was virtually in a situation where he could not make a comeback. In addition, Joo-Hyun Jeong, who was one of the ‘Edmonton Kids’ born in 1990, announced his retirement after 15 years of professional life. Among the players released by LG, the player who attracts the most attention is definitely Seo Geon-chang. Seo Geon-chang was released after joining LG as a t

Gocheok Dome undergoes a transformation ahead of the MLB opening game

  Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, where the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) game will be held in March, is properly preparing to welcome guests. On March 20th and 21st, the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres will hold the Seoul Series, which also serves as the opening game of the 2024 MLB regular season, at Gocheok Dome. As this is the first MLB regular league game to be played in Korea, expectations are high not only for Korean fans but also for those in the United States.  ESPN will broadcast this game live across the United States. The Dodgers currently have Shohei Otani, the best baseball star, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who recently set a new record for the highest salary for an MLB pitcher. San Diego also has Japanese pitchers Yu Darvish and Yuki Matsui, as well as Koreans Kim Ha-seong and Ko Woo-seok, so there is a lot of interest in the Seoul Series in Korea and Japan. The problem is the condition of the stadium. Although Gocheok Dome, which was completed in 2015, is a relativel

SF is also missing... Imanaga remains with Boston, Cubs, and Angels before recruitment

  The San Francisco Giants are expected to withdraw from the recruitment of Japanese pitcher Shota Imanaga (29). Columnist Jim Bowden, a former U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) general manager, quoted an industry source on his social network service (SNS) on the 7th (Korean time) and said, "San Francisco is not currently prioritizing Imanaga." The day before, Bowden pointed out four teams, including the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, and Los Angeles Angels, as well as San Francisco, as final candidates for Imanaga's recruitment. However, the atmosphere in San Francisco has changed.  San Francisco brought in former Cy Young Award winner Robbie Ray through a trade the day before.  It is highly likely that the club, which has strengthened its starting lineup with the addition of Ray, will not actively recruit Imana, who requires a large investment.  Locally, it is expected that Imanaga will sign a contract worth around 100 million dollars. “San Francisco is still interested i

  K League 1 Daegu FC strengthened its midfield and defense at the same time. Daegu announced on the 5th that it had recruited Japanese midfielder Yoshino (29) from Yokohama FC and defender Go Myeong-seok (28) from Suwon Samsung.
