Seoul baseball rivals Doosan Bears and LG Twins finished a four-player bargain on Thursday, with an All-Star pitcher exchanging groups about seven days before the beginning of the customary season.
The Bears sent 2018 All-Star lefty Ham Deok-ju, alongside right-hander Chae Ji-seon, to the Twins, in return for infielder Yang Suk-hwan and left-hander Nam Ho.
Ham and Yang are key figures in this arrangement between co-inhabitants of Jamsil Baseball Stadium in the country’s capital.
Rival KBO Clubs Sign Deal
Ham, 26, is entering his 10th season in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO). He acquired the 2018 All-Star as one of the group’s exceptional closers. He got done with a 6-3 record and 27 recoveries, in addition to a 2.96 ERA in 67 innings that season.
According to sports betting odds reports, Ham had made 24 beginnings in 2017 and surprisingly after a change to warm up area, he has straightforwardly discussed needing to turn into a starter once more. He made six heads close to the furthest limit of a year ago, and had a 4.26 ERA in 25 1/3 innings in those about six beginnings, contrasted with a 3.60 ERA in 30 innings as a reliever.
The Twins have four starters secured in the turn now – Casey Kelly, Andrew Suarez, Lee Min-ho and Jeong Chan-heon – and Ham will probably be in the warm up area for his new club.
