Valero, who has been with Ohtani since he moved from Japan to the United States, negotiated a massive 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers when he became a free agent late last year.

Kim first had a video meeting with Valero and Nikis in April. “I think I was more attracted to them because they have some of the best players in the world, including Son Heung-min and Faker,” he said honestly.
“I think it’s the most exciting and nerve-wracking thing I’ve done in recent years,” Kim said of signing the contract, but added, “Everything is still in the beginning stages. I’ll answer about my preferences, the team I want to go to, and the players I want to meet later,” but she was cautious, saying, ”I’ll answer later.
However, he also said, “Any position is good. I’m Kim Hye-sung, not Kim Hye-sung, a baseball player, so my goal is to prepare well for any position,” he said, 카지노사이트 순위 showing confidence.
