Professional baseball player Kiwoom has recruited Edison Russell, a major league hitter. Boasting an all-star career, he has a history of domestic violence, so he is as concerned as expected.

Kiwoom said today (20th) that Edison Russell has been acquired for a total of $53,000, and 640 million won.

Russell, a 26-year-old infielder who played at the Major League Chicago Cubs for the fifth year in a row last year, was named League All-Star in 2016 and has a brilliant career leading up to winning the team's World Series.

But two years ago, after being punished for stopping 40 business trips for domestic violence, I walked downhill.

Kiwoom's position is that there is no problem with Russell's privacy.

[Kim Chi-hyun / Kiwoom Heroes: It was found that 40 games (business trips) were suspended because of text, text, or violence, not physical violence. (Agent) I heard it directly from Boras.]

Russell plans to join the team at the end of July at the earliest after visa issuance and self-isolation.

Kiwoom, waiting for Russell, overpowered SK today and sprinted four straight games.

Park Byeong-ho, who returned from the list of injured, started a home run in a week.

Hanwha, the lowest, has won a streak in the lead NC and escaped from the 4th straight streak.

The starter's fold led the team to victory with only two points to the seventh one-out.
