‘Are they really signing Lee Jeong-hoo’ Yankees sheathe knife, place Vader on waivers

 Are the New York Yankees really recruiting Lee Jeong-hoo (25, Kiwoom Heroes), who are having a hard time advancing into the postseason? It seems that the team is being organized, but a center fielder was mentioned.

On the 30th (Korean time), 카지노, the official homepage of Major League Baseball, said, “The Yankees announce a waiver of Harrison Bader (29).” There has been no official announcement from the Yankees yet.

Bader, who made his major league debut with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2017, batted .235 with 3 home runs and 10 RBIs in 32 games in his first year of debut. From the 2018 season, his second year, his potential exploded. He hit 0.264 with 12 homers, 37 RBIs, and 15 stolen bases, and an OPS of 0.756, hitting his first 10 homers in his debut.

Vader, who achieved 10 home runs for the second consecutive year with 12 home runs in 2019, only played 50 games in the 2020 season, but in 2021 he will make a comeback. He won the National League Outfielder Gold Glove with a batting average of .267, 16 homers, and 50 RBIs for an OPS of .784 in 103 games.

Bader, who wore the Yankees uniform after being traded in August of last year, has a batting average of 0.39 (68 hits in 285 at-bats), 7 homers, 37 RBIs and 16 stolen bases, and an OPS of 0.640 in 83 games this season.

He’s doing well on defense, but he’s below expectations at bat. In particular, since 2021, he has not been able to digest full-time due to injuries in various parts such as his ribs, soles and hamstrings.

As for the Yankees, they chose to part ways early with Bader, whose contract expires after this season.

The Athletic pointed out, “The Yankees don’t need Vader anymore. Of course, Vader is an excellent outfielder, but his bat is questionable,” and “The Yankees may be regretting not trading Vader at the deadline.”

Vader’s public announcement of the waver is attracting attention because it is connected to Lee Jung-hoo. Recently, the New York Post, a local media outlet in New York, mentioned Lee Jung-hoo as one of the candidates who could be recruited if the Yankees do not sign Bader.

Lee Jung-hoo will challenge the major leagues after this season. Although he ended the season early due to an ankle injury, he is the best hitter in the KBO League.

At the beginning of this season, he fell into a severe hitting sluggishness, but quickly recovered. He quickly returned to batting average of 300. Before his injury, he had a batting average of 0.319, 105 hits, 6 home runs, 45 RBIs, an OPS of 0.863, and a batting average of 0.303 in scoring position.

He has played 883 games over a total of 7 seasons in the KBO League and has a batting average of 0.340, 65 home runs, 515 RBI, 581 runs, 69 stolen bases, and an OPS of 0.898.

Attention is focusing on whether the Yankees will really start a match for Lee Jung-hoo after the end of this season.
