SSG Kim Kwang-hyun and Choi Jung have to break up well, franchise romance? Let's not ignore it
A professional is a jungle. The romance of the franchise is gone. Prior to Kim Kang-min's second draft move to Hanwha, the frequency of franchise stars' transfers gradually increased. Money is important for players, and future performance is more important than the past and the club's future performance is more important than the current performance. In this regard, it is understood that SSG's 35-member protection list of Kim Kang-min is excluded.
However, there is a difference that Kim Kang-min came up with a one-club man modifier not by his own choice, but by the club's choice. And it was clearly confirmed that this fact is still uncomfortable for franchise fans. If Kim Kang-min had gone to Hanwha under the FA contract, SSG would not have been criticized this much by fans.
The franchise star's departure from the FA market in search of money, happiness, and honor is not criticized as much as before. Of course, even in this case, the team that lost the franchise star hears regret from fans. However, in this case, the player can make an excuse of his own "free will." 파워볼게임
However, like the second draft, it is difficult to give an excuse to break up with a franchise star based on the club's choice. If SSG was going to exclude Kim Kang-min from the 35-member protection list, many point out that it had to make a clear decision on his future with Kim Kang-min before the second draft was held. Moreover, there was enough time to discuss after the semi-playoff at the end of October.
Since SSG sent Kim Kang-min to Hanwha, it should take care of at least one more future engine. But apart from that, a valuable lesson has been learned. The romance of the franchise has disappeared, but there is no need to intentionally break the fantasy.
It is natural for fans to focus on emotions and treat professional sports more than reality. All you have to do is like the baseball of franchise stars one-dimensional. Do fans need to sympathize with the difficulty of calculating the salary cap of the club, the pressure, or the current status of rebuilding. If you sympathize, it's a thank you to the clubs, not to force the fans. Fans also have difficulties in daily life and reality. Rather, many people visit baseball to forget it.
In other words, clubs do not deserve to tell fans to face the reality that the romance of the franchise has been broken. SSG should humbly accept the criticism from fans that it missed Kim Kang-min. And you just have to break up well with the remaining franchise stars and luxury stars. No player is an active player for life anyway, and the franchise star has to break up with fans someday.
Choi Jeong was contracted until 2024 and Kim Kwang-hyun until 2025. Apart from this, no one knows when they will retire. SSG was given homework to decorate the end with them as well as possible and think about how to break up with their fans beautifully. The same goes for Choo Shin-soo, who is likely to finish his active duty before them. Franchise stars and superstars at this level have a reason to decide their own course of action. The least, last romance that fans think remains of professional sports needs to be respected.
