User talk:Ryu Hyun-jin has to go to the U.S.... He has to prepare for spring training without his team
Ryu Hyun-jin's departure seems to be delayed.
Usually, you should be ready to go to the U.S. around this time. Last year, I went to the U.S. a month earlier than usual and received rehab. At that time, I had somewhere to go.
But I haven't decided where to go this time yet.
The 2024 Major League spring training begins on Feb. 14 (Korea time). Usually, pitchers gather at the training site first. After about 10 days of training, they start exhibition games.
Ryu Hyun-jin signed a four-year, $80 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays around the end of December 2019, his first free agent.
But this time, as a second free agent, my contract is being delayed.
There are many teams showing interest, but the contract has not been signed yet. This is because each other's positions are very different.
Ryu's agent, Scott Boras, is the type to set requirements and wait. There is no negotiation. If you want it, sign a contract. If you don't want it, don't.
Clubs are also holding out. They want to negotiate only when they lower the price of big players such as Cody Bellinger and Black Snell.
Ryu is not a big fish. Nevertheless, he has not decided on a team yet. The U.S. media also expressed suspicions.
