Go Woo-seok, who is taking on a new challenge with the Major League Baseball (MLB) San Diego Padres, has one more competitor. This is left-handed reliever Wandy Peralta.
ESPN, an American sports media outlet, reported on the 1st (Korean time) that San Diego agreed to a four-year, $16.5 million (approximately 22 billion won) contract with Peralta.
The contract is expected to be finalized once Peralta passes the physical examination.
Peralta’s contract included an opt-out clause that allows him to cancel the remaining contract at the end of each season and become a free agent. 파워볼사이트
Peralta, a native of the Dominican Republic, played eight seasons in the big leagues. Peralta, who entered the MLB stage with the Cincinnati Reds in 2016, pitched in 385 games with the San Francisco Giants and New York Yankees, recording 19 wins, 18 losses, 13 saves, 61 holds, and an ERA of 3.88.
In the 2023 season, he served as the core of the Yankees’ bullpen, recording 4 wins, 2 losses, 4 saves, 18 holds, and a 2.83 earned run average in 63 games.
San Diego let go of closing pitcher Josh Hader after the 2023 season. Hader, who became a free agent, signed a five-year, $95 million (approximately 126.7 billion won) contract with the Houston Astros at the end of last month.
San Diego is busy recruiting bullpen pitchers to minimize Hader’s absence. Ko Woo-seok and Matsui Yuki were also recruited from Korea and Japan.
Ko Woo-seok is expected to compete with Matsui, Peralta, and Robert Suarez for the finishing position. The competition begins in earnest from spring camp, which begins in the middle of this month. 카지노사이트
