There are only three players left in the FA market. They are pitcher Sovereign, Hong Geon-hee and infielder Kim Min-seong. With all three players focusing on remaining negotiations with their original teams, the team desperately needs news of a dramatic agreement before its departure from the spring camp. In particular, attention is focusing on whether Sovereign, which used to be the main bullpen of KT, will accept the team's proposal with a four-year contract period.

KT and Sovereignty sought to narrow the gap by setting up a negotiation table for the third week of January. However, no negotiations have been concluded yet.

"The atmosphere in the negotiations with the sovereignty was not bad," a KT source told MK Sports on Jan. 22. The team has to continue negotiations. Our team has proposed conditions and is reviewing demands made by the players. We plan to meet again this week and make efforts to conclude the meeting well."

After graduating from Cheongju Middle School and Cheongju High School, through a special priority nomination in 2015, the KT uniform has grown into a key mound resource for the team by moving back and forth between starters and bullpens.

Sovereign, who had only been expected as a prospect for four years from 2015 to 2018, pitched in 71 games in the 2019 season and achieved his potential with 6 wins, 2 losses, 2 saves, and 25 holds with a 2.99 ERA. In the 2020 season, Sovereign even achieved a career high, becoming the first hold king of his debut with 6 wins, 2 losses and 31 holds with a 2.70 ERA in 77 games.

In the 2021 season, he also played in 62 games, and even wore a winning ring as he played the lead role in the team's first unified victory with a 3-4, 27-hold ERA of 3.31.

However, Sovereign failed to board the opening entry due to a right forearm injury after being called up to the 2023 WBC Chinese national team ahead of the opening of the 2023 season.

"I couldn't start the season with a ruptured forearm, and I think it's the first time since 2015. If I had managed it well, I could have started the season together, but in the end, it's my fault. It's my fault."

After going through a long period of rehabilitation, Sovereign, who first made his name on the first-team roster for the 2023 season on May 16, failed to show the pitching he had previously shown. Sovereign was sluggish with one win, two losses and five-hold ERA of 4.40 in 42 games in the 2023 season.

In the fall baseball stage, his team continued to show poor performance of its sovereignty. With an ERA of 13.50 in two playoff games with the NC Dinos and a bullpen session in Game 4 of the Korean Series with the LG Twins, he allowed four hits, one homer and four runs in 0.2 innings.

KT has faltered briefly over the past two years, but it still needs sovereignty, which reached its potential by becoming the hold king. KT reportedly offered the terms of a four-year guarantee contract to its sovereignty. Naturally, the sovereignty side seems to want to increase the total amount of the contract itself. 헤라카지노도메인

"Our team has proposed a four-year contract as a condition of guarantee. There was no significant change in the total amount of the contract compared to the previous negotiations. We will have to narrow the gap with details," a KT source said.

KT is the only player who will have domestic camp schedules at its 2024 spring camp. KT plans to move to Gijang on Jan. 29 and start the first spring camp. With only seven days left until the departure of the Gijang camp, we wonder whether its sovereignty will be able to board the bus to Gijang through a dramatic agreement.
