Pittsburgh released two veteran players at the end of the regular season, calling up two players from Minor League Triple-A to fill their vacancy, but the expected name of Bae Ji-hwan (25) was not called.
Pittsburgh announced in a club press release on the 25th (Korea time) that it will release veteran first baseman Rodudi Tellez (29) and outfielder Michael Taylor (33). Pittsburgh added, “To fill their vacancy, we will call up infielder Reover Peguero (24) and outfielder Joshua Palacios (29) from Triple A of the minor league under the club.”
However, the expected name of Bae Ji-hwan was not seen.
The roster moves of the two veteran players, who received notification of their release, were not expected to some extent. The two players, who signed a one-year contract with Pittsburgh ahead of this season, did not meet expectations.
As of Tuesday, Telles posted a batting average of 0.243 with 13 homers and 56 RBIs. His OPS, which combines on-base plus slugging percentage, was also not good at 0.691.
Veteran outfielder Taylor is even worse. He left the Pittsburgh Pirates uniform with a batting average of 0.193, five homers, 21 RBIs and 12 steals. His OPS also stood at only 0.543.토토사이트 추천
With six games to go during the regular season, Pittsburgh’s roster move shows its commitment to rebuild its team centered on young players. However, it is regrettable that Bae does not have his name on the roster.
Bae had a batting average of 0.189 and six RBIs and six steals in the Major League this season. His OPS is also only 0.463. As a result, attention is focusing on how Pittsburgh will evaluate Bae in the offseason.
In the worst-case scenario, there may be a scenario in which he is excluded from the list of 40 players in the Major League.
