The Samsung Lions recruited FA Kim Jae-yoon for up to 5.8 billion won ahead of the 2024 season.

At that time, his overall KBO league record was 44 wins, 33 losses, 17 holds, 169 saves, and an ERA of 3.58. From 2021 to 2023, he made 30 saves for three consecutive seasons. Samsung had no choice but to drool.

Samsung said, "Kim Jae-yoon is the best player to firmly protect his victory on the mound at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu."토토사이트

In response, Kim Jae-yoon said, "Samsung wants to do its best to build up the dynasty once again," adding, "We ask for a lot of support from Lions fans."

Samsung's general manager Lee Jong-yeol, who signed his first FA contract since taking office, said, "With the recruitment of Kim Jae-yoon, the anxiety about the back door has disappeared."

Kim Jae-yoon is being shunned by fans, however. His ERA of 7.71 is a good example of this. At the match against the Kia Tigers on Sunday, he lost the game by allowing three runs including two-run shots during 0.1 innings. His ERA stood at 5.59 in April and soared to 8.64 in May.

Coincidentally, Kim and Oh are walking the same path. Oh finished last year but was deprived of his finishing position due to his poor performance. He was also hit hard by mid-season struggles. He eventually moved down to the second tier.

Kim Jae-yoon finished the game after Oh Seung-hwan, but has had a slump since the beginning of this season. He has also shown sluggish performance in the mid-season. He has nothing to say even if he is sent to the second team immediately.

Samsung's fans are shouting. "I don't know why Park Jin-man insists on Kim Jae-yoon," the Samsung manager said in a furious reaction.

Samsung's bullpen effectively collapsed right now. Oh Seung-hwan does not know when he will come up. Although Lim Chang-min is said to return soon, Kim Jae-yoon should quickly find his pace.
