Ryu Hyun-jin starts negotiations with the Los Angeles Dodgers. At the same time, "I don't care if it's east or west," he made it clear that he would go to a team that offered better terms.

Friedman, president of the Los Angeles Dodgers, said today that he has talked about Ryu Hyunjin's agent Boras with his contract.

Boras admitted contact with the Dodgers, but the atmosphere was a bit different.

"Every region in the United States is far from Seoul," he said. It doesn't matter if he's not a western team, such as the Dodgers, who are known to be preferred by Ryu.

Ryu Hyunjin said the same thing as if he kissed Boras.

[Ryu Hyun-jin: As Boras said, I think it's the same mind because it's far from Seoul.]

It doesn't matter where you go, it's a strategy to raise the ransom by making the team more competitive, including the Dodgers.

The FA market is getting hotter.

Just one day after Strasbourg's best pitching deal with Washington, Gary Cole set a new record with the New York Yankees for $ 323 million in nine years.

As free agent pitchers succeed in astronomical contracts, Ryu Hyunjin's 'potential potential' is growing.
