Should I have stayed in San Diego…Kim Ha-sung’s best friend gave up 9.9 billion won and transferred to FA, and ‘release’
Dutch outfielder Jurickson Profar (30)바카라사이트 has been released from the Colorado Rockies. On the 28th (hereinafter Korean time), Colorado released Propar while calling up utility prospect Hunter Goodman from Isotops in Triple-A Albuquerque. Profar must sign a contract before September 1 to play in the postseason with his new team.
After participating in the World Base Classic (WBC) in mid-March, Profar signed a free agency contract with Colorado for $7.75 million a year. However, he did not complete the season due to poor performance. In 111 games this season, he had a batting average of 2.3 6 Lee (98 hits in 415 at-bats), 8 homers, 39 RBIs, and an OPS of .680. In the second half of 32 games, his batting average was 2.1 (22 hits in 105 at-bats), 2 home runs, 7 RBIs, and an OPS of .612, and his batting productivity dropped significantly.
Colorado, which finished in 5th place in the National League West with a record of 49 wins and 81 losses (.377 win rate), moved away from fall baseball early on. It was decided to give young players a chance by immediately releasing the veteran propa without going through the transfer nomination (DFA) procedure.
Pro Parr, who was noted as the #1 overall ranking prospect during his time with the Texas Rangers, didn’t quite live up to his expectations after his 2012 major league debut. He settled down bit by bit as he was traded to the Oakland Athletics in 2019 and to the San Diego Padres in 2020.
Propar, who signed a free agent contract with San Diego for three years and $21 million in January 2021, included an opt-out clause to become a free agent after the 2021-2022 season. After the 2021 season, he exercised a player option for a salary of $6.5 million for 2022, but gave up the option for a salary of $7.5 million for 2023 after the season last year.
Last year, in 152 games, he had a batting average of 2.43 (140 hits in 575 at-bats), 15 homers, 58 RBIs, and an OPS of .723, which was not bad, and gave up a guaranteed annual salary of about 9.9 billion won with our own money, aiming for a bigger contract. However, the year changed and even after spring training started, the team I wanted did not come out. It was not until mid-March that I signed a contract with Colorado.
He earned $250,000 in annual salary and $1.25 million more including the buyout amount than when he stayed in San Diego, but he skipped spring training before the season and was not ready for the normal season. Although he had individual training sessions in his hometown of Dutch Curacao, he lacked time to respond to pitchers’ pitches. Difficulties followed, including missing the first three games of his season due to visa issues due to his contract being delayed.
The US’Major League Trade Rumors (MTR)’ said,’Propa made a little more money than when he stayed in San Diego, but considering his sluggishness this season, it’s hard to see it as a gain. He pointed out that he played for the Netherlands during the WBC period, but it is highly likely that he received little spring training, which affected his sluggishness this season. In fact, Profar was not in normal condition due to a recent left knee injury.
Profar is well known to domestic fans as he is close friends with Kim Ha-sung. He spent two years together in San Diego and developed a close friendship. Last February, when the Dutch WBC team played a practice game against the LG Twins in Arizona, USA, Kim Ha-seong visited the site and cheered for Profar. This season, Kim Ha-seong stood tall as a top player, while Profar was released, and his best friend’s joys and sorrows were mixed.
