Will the Doosan Bears, who have virtually declared their internal and external rebuilding through the departure of veteran infielders Huh Kyung-min and Kim Jae-ho and the 3-2 trade with Lotte Giants, hold onto internal FA "Veteran must-win group" Kim Kang-ryul.
Following FA Huh Kyung-min's transfer to KT Wiz on the 8th, Doosan has been sending the stove league without any reinforcement of the infield since franchise shortstop Kim Jae-ho announced his intention to retire on the 14th. There are still infielders on the market, including Ryu Ji-hyuk and Ha Joo-seok, but Doosan seems to have set the tone by fostering young internal resources.
The team has also started to supply young players in the outfield. Doosan gave up pitcher Jeong Cheol-won and infielder Jeon Min-jae to the Lotte Giants and made trade deals to get pitcher Choi Woo-in, outfielder Kim Min-seok and Choo Jae-hyun. It even gave up Jeong Cheol-won, once a key resource in Doosan's bullpen, and Jeon Min-jae, one of the likely contenders for shortstop next year, to bring in two promising players in the outfield. In fact, it declared the rebuilding of the fielders.
Attention is then focusing on the future course of Kim Kang-ryul, 36, who is still a free agent. Kim, who was drafted by Doosan in the second round and fourth round of the 2007 rookie draft, has been active as a must-winner since 2017, showing full capacity. Having recorded double-digit holds (12-11) for two consecutive years in 2017 and 2018, Kim played as Doosan's closing pitcher in the 2021 season, recording three wins, no losses and 21 saves with an ERA of 2.09. However, he played in only 26-32 games due to major and minor injuries in the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
Starting with high school rookie Kim Taek-yeon, Doosan has seen remarkable growth in young bullpen resources including Lee Byung-hun (21) and Choi Ji-gang (23). It is a good time to prepare a new bullpen session. We also have to consider the age and durability of Kim Kang-ryul, who struggled due to injury during the previous two seasons. 먹튀검증
On the other hand, the fact that Kim Kang-ryul showed signs of rebounding with 2 wins, 2 losses, 1 save, 12 holds, and an ERA of 3.00 in 53 games this year, and that it was the first full-time season of young bullpen pitchers who stood out this year, are factors that can help Kim stay. Attention is focusing on whether Doosan, which is attempting to rebuild throughout the inside and outside, and veteran Kim Kang-ryul, who has shown signs of revival this year, will renew his contract.
