Ko Woo-seok's trade, good luck or bad luck
To quite a few professional baseball players in Korea and Japan, the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) is close to the ultimate goal of a baseball career. No one can blame players for their dream of showing off their skills and winning large-scale contracts as this is a stage where top players play.
The same applies to Ko. Ko continued to convey his intention to enter the MLB last winter to the LG Twins, and he signed a two-year deal with the San Diego Padres for 4.5 million U.S. dollars, crossing the Pacific Ocean. At that time, there were mixed reviews saying that it was too early to challenge and that it was worth trying at a young age. He chose the challenge. LG also backed it.
Things didn't go as well as I thought. It creaked from the exhibition game and eventually failed to make the roster of the opening game. The team entered a season in the Minor League Double A, but it struggled due to disappointment. On the 4th (Korea time), news of the transfer was reported in a shocking manner as I thought he was showing signs of improvement. The San Diego Padres traded Luis Aras, a former NL batting champion, and gave up four players including Ko Woo-suk to Miami.
Since its owner (Peter Sidler) passed away in November last year, San Diego has been aggressively reducing its annual salary. Instead of recruiting expensive free agents, the team aims to strengthen its capacity through trades. A case in point was the recruitment of starting pitcher Dylan Siege right before the opening of the season.
How will this trade affect Koh? As he chose to go to the U.S. with a dream of becoming a U.S., he must be shocked to see that he was traded without taking the mound in the big league. However, let's keep our cool-headed judgment on the situation. As of Tuesday, San Diego has 19 wins and 19 losses, ranking second in the NL West. It has a 5.5 game gap with the world's leading Los Angeles Dodgers (24 wins and 13 losses). In contrast, Miami ranks last with 10 wins and 27 losses in the NL East. It is premature for the team to give up its performance this season and prepare for the future. The situation is different from that of San Diego, which can aim for even a wild card.
Not only individual performance but also the mood of his team's bullpen session will have a significant impact. The San Diego Padres ranks 17th with 4.05 in ERA, while the Miami Marlins ranks 24th with 4.75. The San Diego Padres ranks sixth (140 innings) in ERA, but Miami ranks first with 153 1/3 innings overall. Considering the two teams' bullpen sessions, Ko's chances of entering the big league have increased slightly since he moved to Miami.
Moreover, San Diego Padres has maintained a strong depth (player base) by banking on stable performances by starting pitcher Roberto Suarez with an ERA of 0: Enjel de Los Santos, Steve Coleg, Yuki Matsui, Wandy Peralta, and Adrian Morehorn. Miami is uneasy starting with closer Tanner Scott. Scott's ERA may seem 2.77, but he has 9.7 walks per nine innings. He can barely make it through performances by rookie players such as Declan Cronin and Anthony Maldonado and Birch Smith from the KBO League. It could be a land of opportunity for Ko
He may feel disappointed and confused right now, but he is not a first-time professional. I look forward to seeing him quickly calm down his complex emotions and run toward a better opportunity.
