The Los Angeles Dodgers, which has been on a roll in the early days of the season, has even strengthened its momentum. Kim Hye-sung (26, Oklahoma City Comets), who is aiming to enter the big league, is not happy to hear this news.
MLB.COM, the official website of the Major League Baseball (MLB), said on the 3rd (Korea time) that the Dodgers acquired outfielder Esteury Lewis (26), who set the American League (AL) rookie record with 67 steals in 2023, from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for Carlos Duran (24), a right-handed pitcher in the minor league. The Dodgers placed right-handed pitcher Kyle Hurt, who underwent Tommy John Surgery (elbow ligament joint surgery), on the 60-day injured list to make room on Lewis' 40-man roster. Lewis will head to Triple-A (Oklahoma City) in the minor league for now. 카지노사이트
Lewis, a native of the Dominican Republic, made his big league debut in 2022 and made a surprise debut in 2023. Playing in 132 games for Oakland, he had a batting average of 0.254 (114 hits in 449 at-bats), five homers, 47 RBIs, and 67 steals. That year, he was the second-highest stealer in the MLB and No. 1 in the AL after Ronald Acuna Jr. (Atlanta Braves, then 73 steals). He played only 29 games last season due to wrist and knee injuries, and was pushed out of the competition this season as well. MLB.COM predicts that Lewis will be a resource to replace Andy Paz, the Dodgers' center fielder who is in a slump.
After all, Kim Hye-seong, a member of Triple-A, a minor league under the Dodgers, is not happy to recruit Lewis. Lewis has a lot of overlap with Kim's use in that he is a resource for fast-paced outfielders. Kim, who failed to join the opening entry, will have a batting average of 0.214 (three hits in 14 times at bat) in four games at Triple-A. The sense of hitting has rarely increased, but the addition of competitors is literally "worse still."
