‘Boras Division’ signs three contracts in two days, Ryu Hyun-jin soon?
Another claim has been raised that Ryu Hyun-jin (37), who has been free for more than two months, should wear the San Diego Padres uniform.
San Diego fan media 'Friars On Base' reported on the 24th (Korean time) that James Paxton signed with the LA Dodgers and said, 'Earlier this week, left-hander Ryu Hyun-jin and right-hander Michael Lorenzen were mentioned in connection with San Diego. 'If the Padres were to argue over the match between Ryu Hyun-jin and Loren, it would be much more reasonable to select the left-hander (Ryu Hyun-jin) under all conditions being equal. The Padres only have one starting left-hander on their 40-man roster, Jay Groome. However, it is difficult for him to even survive on the roster this spring.'
According to local media reports, Paxton agreed to a one-year contract worth $12 million with the Dodgers on the 23rd. As the Dodgers, who were looking for a fifth starter, recruited Paxton, the only 'mid-price' free agent starters left on the market are Ryu Hyun-jin and Lorenzen. This means that for San Diego, negotiating with Ryu Hyun-jin is much more beneficial.
Lorenzen pitched 153 innings in 29 games (25 starts) for the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies last year, recording 9 wins and 9 losses, an ERA of 4.18, and 111 strikeouts. He debuted with the Cincinnati Reds in 2015 and posted a career record of 40 wins, 38 losses, and an earned run average of 4.11.

Previously, on the 21st, Sports Illustrated (SI)'s 'Inside the Padres' also argued that San Diego should recruit Ryu Hyun-jin. Looking at the atmosphere, it is highly likely that Ryu Hyun-jin's future will be revealed as early as this weekend.
This is because the contracts of free agents under Ryu Hyun-jin's agent Scott Boras are being signed one after another.
Paxton's agent is Boras. Also, on the 24th, outfielder Joey Gallo and first baseman Rhys Hoskins, among the Boras division's free agents, found new contracts. Gallo signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Washington Nationals, and Hoskins agreed to a two-year, $34 million contract with the Milwaukee Brewers. This means that three Boras customers completed their contracts in two days.
In the end, the free agent market has become active with about three weeks left before the start of spring training. In addition to these, free agents who decided on their positions in the past week include Marcus Stroman (New York Yankees, 2 years, $37 million), Jordan Hicks (San Francisco Giants, 4 years, $44 million), and Matt Carpenter (St. Louis Cardinals, 1 year, $740,000). , Josh Hader (Houston Astros, 5 years, $95 million), and Robert Stephenson (LA Angels, 3 years, $33 million).
