Will Um Sang-baek stay in Suwon or move somewhere.

There is a lot of interest in pitcher Um Sang-baek, who became the first FA in his life.

All teams in the offseason want to reinforce their power. It would be nice if there were a lot of big players in the market, but sometimes that's not the case. This year is the case. There is no "special FA" that will change the team's power and the league.스포츠토토

That's why the sky seems to be helping Um Sang-baek. In the meantime, he stands out as a "Gye Ilhak." That's why the clubs that have to spend money are only paying attention to him. It is evaluated as the most valuable resource as a starter. If Choi Won-tae, who applied for the FA together, had a good season, the interest would have been divided, but because Choi Won-tae was sluggish including the post season, the interest cooled down. So, Um Sang-baek gets the benefit of reflection. He won the title of "biggest fish" early on. Ahead of the FA, he won 13 career-high games. His ERA was very high at 4.88 and he failed to show his "big game feature" side in fall baseball. However, 159 strikeouts cover him. He is not an ace, but he seems to be able to take responsibility for one starting position. So his value is playing more.

KT's standing is important. In fact, KT is a team that has plenty of starters. Two foreign players have Ko Young-pyo, a "man of 10.7 billion won," and Cho is preparing to make a comeback as a starter for next season after elbow surgery. If he has Um Sang-baek, he would be perfect. In addition, he even acquired left-hander Oh Won-seok through a trade.

Therefore, some say that Oh was brought in to say goodbye to Um Sang-baek. In fact, KT watched Kim Jae-yoon leave for the Samsung Lions for 5.8 billion won after deciding that he could be replaced by Park Young-hyun.

However, the situation is different from that of Kim Jae-yoon. KT desperately wants Um Sang-baek. It has already offered conditions to Um Sang-baek. According to a person familiar with KT's situation, "It can be said that KT has made a full bet. We have offered the best possible conditions."

KT is not a very investment-driven club, but it spends its money enthusiastically. It also gave Hwang two massive free agency contracts and Ko Young-pyo a multi-year non-FA contract worth 10.7 billion won (10.7 million U.S. dollars) ahead of this season. The negotiating style offers a maximum from the beginning without considering the players. It did the same for Ko.

In other words, there is no room for KT's conditions to change. It is whether or not Eom Sang-baek accepts what he prepared best. Now, other clubs who want Eom Sang-baek in earnest are expected to begin to bite. Whether it's money or the environment, it's now up to Eom Sang-baek.
