Now, I think I should express that I have reached the "level of art." Lotte is poised to make a huge trade hit again this year.토토사이트

Last year, Lotte acquired infielder Sohn Ho-young (31) through a trade with LG, and achieved a huge success than expected. Son, who was a backup infielder during his time at LG, transformed into a center hitter as soon as he wore Lotte's uniform, and succeeded in turning his life around by posting a career-high performance of .317 with 18 home runs, 78 RBIs and seven steals in 102 games. He also achieved the milestone of hitting in 30 consecutive games, becoming a hot topic of conversation.

Lotte is also showing signs that the player it acquired through a trade will remain a success once again this year. It was only after the end of the last season that Lotte entered into a deal with Doosan. Lotte brought right-hander Jung Cheol-won (26) and infielder Jeon Min-jae (26) to strengthen its bullpen and infielders.

As expected, a man named Jeong Cheol-won received the most attention when the trade was traded. Jung was crowned as the Rookie of the Year by winning 23 holds in 2022, when Lotte coach Kim Tae-hyung took the helm. As Kim Tae-hyung said, "I will use Jung as a must-win team," Jung has garnered seven holds as he appeared in a close game, ranking first in the league. However, it is regrettable that Jung Chul-won has only a 6.23 ERA for the season.

On the contrary, there seems to be another star of the mega hit. It is Jeon Min-jae. Initially, Kim focused on the value of using Jeon as a utility player. As recently as January, Kim said, "I got a lot better last year. I have a lot of leeway. I think he will be a very necessary player in our infield right now."

Lotte previously used Jeon as a third baseman after Son Ho-young was out of the team due to a side injury. Since then, the team has been using the strategy of using Jeon as a shortstop and Kim Min-sung as third baseman as soon as the main second baseman Ko Seung-min returned to the team, as shortstop Park Seung-wook and Lee Ho-joon failed to show stable performances. Without Jeon Min-jae, Lotte's infield would have faced another crisis.
