Will Seo Geon-chang (35) and Jung Chan-heon (34, Kiwoom Heroes) be able to reunite dramatically.
The LG Twins and the Kiwoom Heroes made a one-on-one trade ahead of the second half of the 2021 season. LG requested Seo Geon-chang from Kiwoom to reinforce the second base, which was a chronic weak point. Then, Kiwoom, where Ahn Woo-jin and Han Hyun-hee were missing due to COVID-19 drinking penalties, received Jung Chan-heon to reinforce the starting pitcher.
The trade ended up with Kiwoom’s decision-making victory. Seo Kun-chang couldn’t stand up for the past two and a half years while he was with LG. In fact, Jung Chan-heon signed a contract as an FA late last season, but failed to play well due to his waist injury. Still, Jung Chan-heon was fine when he was healthy. He was also a spiritual supporter of the pitching staff. Anyway, he also signed a 2-year, 860 million won contract as an FA at Kiwoom.
After the 2023 season, a story was made again. Seo Kun-chang asked LG to release it. And Kiwoom sent a love call as soon as Seo Kun-chang was released. As a result, Seo Kun-chang did not respond to Kiwoom. Kiwoom officially said ‘wait’, but it has actually accepted it as a rejection.
If Seo Geon-chang joins Kiwoom, the trading parties will be reunited dramatically. However, even if Seo Geon-chang changes his mind and accepts Kiwoom’s return, the reunion with Jung Chan-heon will not take place immediately. This is because Jung Chan-heon has undergone back surgery in November and is in rehabilitation.
Jung Chan-heon underwent his third surgery. He continues to receive treatment and management. He is very cautious inside the club. He is receiving treatment led by his own doctor, who took care of his waist in the past. He is expected to be able to return to the club this season, but it is unclear when he will return.
The two exchanged their uniforms in a trade, but they are actually Dong-chang Songjeong, Choongjangjung, and Gwangju Ilgo. Jung Chan-heon is one year younger, but he was born in 1990 in a fast way. They started together at LG, but Seo Geon-chang is practically the same as the Heroes, so it’s hard to say that they are one team in the professional league 마카오토토도메인.
Will such two people be able to be teammates in the trade match? I don’t think it will be that difficult, but it also doesn’t seem easy. Opportunities are important for Seo Geon-chang, who has been in a slump for many years, but Kiwoom already has Kim Hye-sung and Choi Joo-hwan at second base. Seo may hesitate. Since Jung Chan-heon also operated on the same area three times, it has become an issue that should be interpreted in the area of “human life” beyond the player’s life.
All Kiwoom can do is just wait. In the case of joining Seo Geon-chang, even if you have emptied your mind, you can’t help but feel sorry. It is also true that Jung Chan-heon’s health is worrisome. Will we see the two Dong-chang smiling together in the infield of Gocheok Dome? It is one of the scenarios that Kiwoom fans desperately want this year.
