For the past three years, all teams have focused on bullpen enhancements in the Major League FA market, and the starting pitchers have withered.

In just three years, only two starters had surpassed $ 100 million.

This year is different.

Two- and three-starter Jack Wheeler, who had never voted in his lifetime video, wore a Philadelphia uniform for a five-year, $ 118 million, far exceeding expectations, and today (10th) World Series MVP Strasburg He has signed a residual contract with Washington for $ 245 million over seven years, the highest pitcher of all time.

And it's clear that Gary Cole, the free agent pitcher, will soon overtake Strasbourg to become "the most expensive pitcher on the planet."

Prominent baseball columnist Tom Burducci analyzed the starter's popularity in the FA market as Houston and Washington, who had built strong starters, entered the World Series and reduced starter injuries due to the development of sports medicine.

It is creating a favorable environment for Ryu Hyunjin.

While Minnesota and Toronto have already shown their keen interest, Ryu's chances of hitting are increasing, as there are teams that need starting pitchers, including the Dodgers of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
