    Kim Ha-seong and Ko Woo-seok, San Diego Opening Game Roster

    Kim Ha-seong and Ko Woo-seok, MLB.com’s Expected San Diego Opening Game Roster

    All-purpose infielder Kim Ha-seong and bullpen pitcher Ko Woo-seok return to Korea as members of the MLB San Diego Padres’ regular season opening game roster.

    In an article on the 11th (Korean time) predicting the 26-member roster for San Diego’s opening game this year,

    MLB.com mentioned Kim Ha-seong and Ko Woo-seok as one of the infielders and bullpen pitchers who will appear in the first game of the regular season. 바카라사이트

    Kim Ha-seong

    Ha-Seong Kim, who won the National League Utility Gold Glove last year and established himself as an irreplaceable defender for the team,

    was mentioned as one of eight infielders

    who will support the team along with teammates such as Sander Boharz, Jake Cronenworth, and Manny Machado.

    MLB.com predicted that Ko Woo-seok, who is making his big league debut wearing a San Diego uniform,

    will face the opening game as a member of the eight bullpen pitchers along with members of the sure-to-win pitching team such as Yuki Matsui and Robert Suarez.

    Ha-seong Kim signed a 4+1 year contract with San Diego in 2021 worth $28 million guaranteed, up to $39 million.

    This year is the final year of the guaranteed contract, and Kim Ha-seong can receive a $2 million buyout option from San Diego after the season and enter the free agent (FA) market,

    or extend his contract with San Diego for one year and receive an annual salary of $8 million next year.

    More weight is placed on Kim Ha-seong’s free agency declaration,

    which allows him to sign a multi-year contract with a large sum of money,

    rather than remaining in San Diego.

    There is a possibility that Machado, who underwent elbow surgery,

    will play only as a designated hitter this season,

    so we will have to watch the spring camp and exhibition games to see how Kim Ha-seong’s position will be arranged.

    Go Woo-seok

    On the 4th of last month, Go Woo-seok signed a 2+1 year contract with San Diego for up to $9.4 million.

    MLB.com predicted that Suarez and Matsui would compete for the vacant position of closer Josh Hader,

    who moved to the Houston Astros as a free agent.

    As Go Woo-seok left for the United States on the 8th,

    he said, “I am a pitcher who has just begun his challenge to the big leagues.

    “I know I am lacking,” he said, emphasizing, “Rather than being conscious of the race to finish,

    I am only thinking about making the opening roster and finishing the season healthy.”

    MLB.com reported that San Diego has left-handed pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin,

    who does not yet have a team.

    It was reported that the bullpen composition of the opening day roster may change,

    considering that there is still interest in recruiting other starting pitchers, including 36).

    San Diego will begin pitcher and catcher training on the 12th at the Peoria Sports Complex in Peoria, Arizona.

    The first training for the entire team will be held on the 17th,

    and an exhibition game will open against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the 23rd. 파워볼사이트

    San Diego and the Dodgers will hold the historic regular season opener ‘MLB Seoul’ at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on March 20-21.

    Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the United States Navratilova

    Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the United States Refutes Navratilova’s Anti-Saudi Column

    Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States refuted the opinions of ‘tennis legends’ Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert (both of the United States)

    who opposed hosting the Women’s Professional Tennis (WTA) tour tournament in Saudi Arabia.

    In her statement released on her own social media on the 31st,

    Tennis legends Navratilova and Evert, who each won 18 women’s singles titles in major tennis tournaments,

    published an opinion piece in the American newspaper Washington Post last week expressing their opposition to holding the final match of the WTA tour season in Saudi Arabia.

    They pointed out, “Saudi Arabia has women’s human rights issues and can punish sexual minorities with the death penalty,” and added,

    “In particular, it is a country where problems with human rights and basic freedoms have been a topic of international concern for a long time.”

    “Holding the event in a place like this would represent a major setback not only for women’s sports,

    but also for women,” he said.

    “We hope this situation will change within the next five years, and if that changes,

    we will support holding the event in that country.”

    “I will do it,” he claimed.

    Ambassador Rima then criticized this, saying, “They have turned their backs on the very women they inspired, and this is beyond disappointing.

    Sports provide equal opportunities to everyone based on ability, dedication and effort.”

    “It has to be done,” he pointed out.

    He continued, “Sports should not be used as a weapon to strengthen any prejudice or argument,”

    “There should be no disadvantage to a society that is trying to help tennis grow.”

    Rima Bint Bandar Al Saud

    Ambassador Lima also said, “Although there are still issues to be resolved,

    it is difficult to overlook the recent progress in women’s social participation”

    And added, “Our country is not a perfect place for women,

    but there is virtually no place that is perfect for women,

    so it is difficult to overlook the progress regarding women.”

    “I welcome open discussion,” he emphasized.

    Ambassador Lima, who became Saudi Arabia’s first female ambassador to the United States in 2019,

    was also elected as a member of the 2020 International Olympic Committee (IOC).

    Her father, Bandar bin Sultan, served as ambassador to the United States until 2005 and became the ‘paternal ambassador to the United States,’ and her grandfather,

    Sultan bin Abdulaziz, is from the royal family, the 12th son of the first King Abdulaziz.

    North Korea-Japan World Cup Qualifiers to be held in Pyongyang in March

    North Korea-Japan World Cup Qualifiers to be held in Pyongyang in March… It’s Been About 4 Years Since the Inter-Korean Conflict

    February women’s soccer Olympic preliminaries will also be held at Kim Il-sung Stadium

    North Korea will be playing a national soccer match at home for the first time in four years.

    According to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) website on the 31st,

    the match between North Korea and Japan in the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asian region second qualifying round

    scheduled to be held on March 26 will be held at Kim Il-sung Stadium in Pyongyang.

    AFC also announced the game start time as 5 p.m. 바카라사이트

    World Cup

    Japanese media, including Nikkan Sports and Sports Hochi, also reported,

    “In the World Cup 2nd qualifying round schedule updated by AFC on the 30th,

    the venue for the match on March 26 was set at Kim Il-sung Stadium.”

    Considering that the match between Syria and Myanmar scheduled to be held on the same day (Syria home),

    the match between North Korea and Syria scheduled for June 6th (North Korea home) have not yet been specified,

    the location or time has not yet been specified,

    so the match on March 26 will be held in Pyongyang. It appears to have been confirmed.

    If this game is actually held at Kim Il-sung Stadium,

    North Korea will be playing a home international match for the first time in four years.

    North Korea has not held a home international match since playing the 2022 Qatar World Cup Asian second qualifying match against South Korea at Kim Il-sung Stadium on October 15, 2019.

    During the last match against South Korea, North Korea vacated Kim Il-sung Stadium,

    which can accommodate over 40,000 people,

    without prior notice and held the game without spectators.

    Not only was the game not broadcast live, but the local internet conditions were also poor,

    making it a ‘blink’ unsuitable for the 21st century. ‘Gyeonggi’ caused controversy.

    North Korea vs Japan

    Afterwards, North Korea, which played consecutive away games against Turkmenistan and Lebanon in November 2019,

    declared abstention in the aftermath of the 2020 novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic and did not appear on the international stage for a while.

    Then, they returned to the international stage through the Hangzhou Asian Games in September of last year,

    when national teams of each age group participated,

    the A national team also returned through this North and Central America World Cup qualifier.

    The first leg of the World Cup 2nd qualifying round against Syria on November 16 last year was designated as a home game,

    but North Korea, which was played in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a third country,

    won 6-1 in the second game away to Myanmar on November 21,

    taking 3 points, ahead of Japan (points). 6), they are ranked 2nd in Group B.

    North Korea and Japan are scheduled to play the third match at the Tokyo National Stadium on March 21st and then move to Pyongyang for a ‘return match’,

    so they will play two consecutive matches in March only.

    Meanwhile, prior to the North and Central America World Cup qualifiers,

    North Korea is also scheduled to play the 2024 Paris Olympics women’s soccer qualifier against Japan next month,

    it was announced on the AFC website that the first home game in the home and away format will be held at Kim Il-sung Stadium on February 24.

    The second game is scheduled to be held at the Tokyo National Stadium on February 28.

    The Baseball World Avoided the Worst Situation

    The Baseball World Avoided the Worst Situation… We Must Shake Off the ‘Black Temptation’ Lurking Everywhere

    The worst situation was avoided in the professional baseball world

    as the court dismissed the request for arrest warrants

    for former coach Kim Jong-kook and former general manager Jang Jeong-seok of the professional baseball KIA Tigers.

    On the 30th, Chief Judge Yoo Chang-hoon, in charge of warrants at the Seoul Central District Court,

    interrogated the suspects (substantive warrant review)

    before the arrest of former director Kim and former manager Jang,

    who are suspected of breach of trust, etc.,

    reviewed the materials for nearly 10 hours before obtaining the arrest warrant requested by the prosecution.

    was dismissed. 온라인카지노사이트

    Chief Judge Yoo Chang-hoon

    Judge Yoo said that it was necessary to guarantee the right of defense

    regarding whether the money the two received from the coffee company, which is the sponsor of the KIA team,

    was compensation for an illegal favor,

    and that it was difficult to believe that there was a risk of destruction of evidence and escape,

    that the reason for the arrest claimed by the prosecution was He stated that it is difficult to acknowledge the necessity.

    Former directors Kim and Jang, who were released while waiting in a detention center, are scheduled to be investigated by the prosecution without detention.

    Former coach Kim was almost arrested as the second current professional baseball coach in history,

    following the late Sammi Superstars coach Kim Jin-young,

    who assaulted an umpire during a game in 1983.

    He escaped arrest, and if indicted, his guilt will be determined in court,

    but it has become difficult to shake off the disgrace of being the first professional baseball manager to receive an arrest warrant on charges of personal corruption.

    Baseball fans were shocked just by the circumstances of receiving bribes that the prosecution stated in the warrant.

    The incident involving former manager Kim and former general manager Jang, who devastated the KIA team,

    reaffirmed the fact that ‘black temptation’ is literally lurking everywhere around baseball players.

    KIA Club

    Professional baseball has suffered from major troubles such as corruption in exemption from military service,

    corruption in win-loss manipulation where dark forces used baseball players’ seniors and juniors as a link to approach players, and illegal and banned drug scandals.

    If these crimes were mainly aimed at players, it is shocking that this time,

    in order to win contracts for uniforms and stadium advertisements,

    the contractor gave kickbacks to the general manager,

    who is in charge of running the baseball team, and the manager, who is in charge of the field.

    The head coach and general manager are positions that receive a stable annual salary above a certain level during the contract period with the club,

    and are responsible for taking the lead in preventing various irregularities and immoral acts occurring within the team.

    In this regard, the mistakes of former coach Kim and former general manager Jang,

    who were involved in receiving bribes, should be investigated. It doesn’t seem light at all.

    If this situation is to end due to the deviation of a specific person,

    there is no other choice but to rearrange morality and the system.

    The KIA club, which has disturbed the baseball world with scandals between its general manager and coach for two consecutive years,

    bowed its head and said it would improve the process for selecting successor managers and coaches and strengthen law compliance training for players.

    It is expected that each club will use this incident as a lesson to reexamine the existing sponsorship and marketing contract system and focus on blocking the intervention of third parties other than those involved.

    There is no reason for professional baseball to exist if it takes away the attention and love of fans due to corruption and misconduct outside the baseball stadium.

    Yankees Judge Transforms Into Center Fielder as Third Hitter

    Yankees Judge Transforms Into Center Fielder as Third Hitter in 2024 Season… Synergy with Soto

    Aaron Judge (31, New York Yankees), a slugger representing the Major League,

    is expected to play as the third hitter and center fielder in the 2024 season.

    MLB.com reported on the 26th (Korean time) that Yankees manager Aaron Boone revealed this plan in a recent podcast interview.

    Judge missed nearly two months due to a toe injury in the 2023 season,

    and recorded a batting average of 0.267, 37 home runs, and 75 RBI in 106 games.

    Aaron Judge

    He started most of those games, 102, as the number two hitter. 온라인카지노사이트

    In his 835 career games over 8 seasons, the most appearances were as a number 2 hitter (529 games).

    The change in how the jersey is used is largely influenced by Juan Soto,

    who was brought in through a trade.

    This is because Soto not only has his slugging power,

    hitting 91 home runs over the past three years,

    but his on-base ability is so good that he recorded the most walks in the major league in all three seasons.

    Juan Soto

    If Soto faithfully fulfills his role as a table setter, we can picture Judge scoring a goal.

    Coach Boone said, “You will see a picture of Juan Soto playing at No. 2 and Judge at No. 3,” and added,

    “I hope Judge and Soto hit back-to-back hits more than 150 times this year.”

    However, he added that the batting order of Soto and Judge may change depending on who takes the leadoff and fourth hitter positions.

    The number one hitter is expected to be among DJ LeMahew, Gleyber Torres, and Alex Verdugo.

    In the outfield defense, it is highly likely that Judge will play in center field,

    Verdugo will play in left field, and Soto will play in right field.

    Judge is most familiar with right field (593 games),

    but center field is also a position he has fond memories of.

    Judge played center field (78 games) more than right fielder (73 games) during the 2022 season,

    when he broke the most home runs (61) in an American League (AL) season.

    Coach Boone said, “Aaron Judge is preparing to play center field,” and “Instead,

    we will give him the opportunity to play designated hitter more often.”

    Asian Cup ‘AG Duo’ Lee Kang-in and Jung Woo-young Prevented Defeat… A Poor Performance that Almost Became a ‘Disaster’

    Corner kick → header to take the lead… After being defeated, Lee Kang-in scored an own goal with a free kick.

    On the 25th, at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah, Qatar, a somewhat ‘shocking’ draw was recorded in Korean soccer.

    winning only once in 1980.

    who had been unable to turn his onslaught into goals after a comeback, from the brink of defeat.

    In the 38th minute of the second half, Lee Kang-in took the free kick from behind the penalty arc and aimed for the goal with a powerful left-footed shot.

    Although it was recorded as an own goal as the ball passed through the goalpost and the hand of opposing goalkeeper Hazumi Saihan,

    it was a scene where Lee Kang-in’s unique left foot shined.

    Lee Kang-in also recorded an assist with a sharp free kick when Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart) scored the first goal in the 21st minute of the first half of the day.

    Jung Woo-young, who jumped up and accurately received the corner kick with his head,

    won a gold medal with Lee Kang-in on the national team at the Hangzhou Asian Games held last fall.

    Jung Woo-young, who showed off his never-before-seen goal scoring ability at the Asian Games and became the top scorer with 8 goals,

    In the game, which ended in a 3-3 draw, Lee Kang-in scored an own goal with a free kick in the 38th minute of the second half,

    when Korea had lost two goals in a row to Malaysia in the second half and were trailing at 1-2.

    His free kick, which he took powerfully, grazed the goalpost and the opponent’s goalkeeper’s hand and did not become Lee Kang-in’s third goal of the tournament,

    but it was a golden kick that tied the score at 2-2.

    The national team later turned the tide again with a penalty kick goal by Son Heung-min (Tottenham),

    but had to be satisfied with only 1 point as they conceded a tying goal in the 15th minute of added time in the second half.

    Lee Kang-in emphasized again, “I prepared to win, but I wasn’t able to,

    so the result is the most disappointing,” and expressed his determination,

    “I will prepare better for the next game (round of 16) so that I can get a good result.”

    He said, “From now on, winning is the only important thing,

    so I talked to my teammates about coming together as one and making sure to win.

    Son Heung-min

    We are all experienced players, and we control each other well,

    so I don’t think there will be any problems with the team atmosphere.”

    On this day, Lee Kang-in also assisted Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart)’s header goal with a corner kick in the 21st minute of the first half.

    Regarding deciding between Son Heung-min and the kicker in a set-piece situation,

    Lee Kang-in explained, “There is nothing set in stone, we talk to each other and choose the kicker,” and added, “It seems like the player is taking the kick in a better position.”

    If Korea had finished in first place in Group E, it could have met Japan,

    which finished in second place in Group D, in the round of 16.

    However, it ended up in second place in the group due to a draw that day,

    thus avoiding an early confrontation.

    Regarding this, Lee Kang-in said, “The players don’t have much thought about such things,”

    “I don’t think I have anything else to say.”
