Kim Ha-sung's team, the San Diego Padres, made a decision.

San Diego signed a trade with the Miami Marlins on Thursday (Korea time) to recruit closer Tanner Scott (30) and right-handed pitcher Brian Hoying (28). Scott was one of the biggest bull pen resources on the trade market. His record for this season was "overwhelming," with 44 appearances, 6 wins, 5 losses, 18 saves and a 1.18 ERA. In his first five appearances in the second half of the season, he pitched 5 1/3 innings of 1 hit and no run. Notably, left-handed pitcher Scott is the "left-handed grifter" whose batting average for this season is only 0.077 (39 hits from 3 times at bat). In addition to the addition of swingman Hoying, the bullpen has skyrocketed. However, the bleeding is not easy.

The San Diego Padres sent four promising players in exchange for Scott and Hoying. The deal also includes left-handed pitcher Robbie Snelling, who ranked second in the list of promising players for the 2024 season selected by MLB.COM, the official website of the Major League Baseball, as well as right-handed pitchers Adam Mazur (No. 4), fielder Graham Foley (No. 5), and Jay Beshears (No. 24). Snelling, who is considered one of the most promising pitchers in his team, attracts attention the most.

Snelling, who was in the first round of the 2022 rookie draft, was a rising star who received a down payment of 3 million dollars (4.2 billion won) alone and competed with catcher Ethan Salas for the first and second place in the team's promising rankings. Mazur and Foley were highly utilized as resources for their big league debut this year, but they sent them to Miami without regret. In other words, they have set up a "promising stock package" to the extent that some say they have "given up the future for the present."

San Diego's strengthening of its bullpen is "sincere." San Diego recruited right-handed bullpen Jason Adam from the Tampa Bay Rays two days ago and gave up three players in return: right-handed pitcher Dylan Lesko, fielder Homer Bush Jr. and catcher J.D. González. All three players have yet to make their big league debut. Notably, Lesko, who was drafted 15th overall in the first round of the 2022 rookie draft, was ranked third in the team and 76th overall in the list of promising players who received 3.9 million U.S. dollars (5.4 billion won) in down payment for joining the team. Consequently, San Diego has poured seven promising players into recruiting three bullpen players (Scat, Hoying, and Adam). 토토사이트 모음

Coincidentally, the San Diego Padres also acquired closing pitcher resources representing Korea and Japan, including Ko Woo-suk and Yuki Matsui, last winter. They have invested in bullpen for quite a long time, but they believe the effect is insignificant. They also collected bullpen in trade deadlines. Ko left San Diego in a trade in May and belongs to the Miami Minor League Double-A.
