KBO’s 20th win pitcher is at its peak, and there are so many places to trade

Among the players that the Dodgers can aim for as a “target,” the name of Eric Peddy (31), a right-hander who turned over at the Chicago White Sox this year, is also mentioned.

In 2022, when he was with the Washington Nationals, Peddy was an ordinary starting resource with a 6-13 record and 5.81 ERA in 127 innings in 27 games. However, while playing for the NC Dinos last year, he pitched in 30 games and pitched 180 innings with a 20-6 record and a 2.00 ERA to dominate the KBO league, which became the background for him to sign a two-year, $15 million contract with the White Sox.

Peddy played a truly ecstatic first half. He pitched 111 ⅓ innings as a starter in all 19 games, and posted an outstanding report card of seven wins, three losses and an earned run average of 2.99. Starting with the sinker boasting 150 kilometers per hour, Peddy is now reborn as a league-class starting pitcher who dominates the Major League stage with sweepers, changeups and cutters. However, the White Sox has the lowest winning rate among the 30 Major League teams with 27 wins and 74 losses, and is preparing for a massive team reshuffle soon, which will likely make it inevitable for Peddy to move to the team.

CBS Sports previewed the LA Dodgers’ trade deadline on Sunday (Korea time) and listed players that the Dodgers could seek to trade with. Among them was Peddy’s name.

“CBS Sports” praised Pedi’s move this season, saying, “Pedi had a 5.41 career ERA in the major leagues until 2022, but he returned to throwing and changing form in Korea last season,” adding, “Pedi, who is playing a great season with the White Sox, is a player who can throw many innings effectively.”

“While all of their injured players are recovering, the Dodgers can use a reliable inning player named Pedi,” CBS Sports said. “Pedi has a two-year contract until 2025, but the contract is only $15 million. This is about the change for the Dodgers.” The Dodgers is one of the most powerful teams in the league, and made a massive investment last winter by giving “superstar” Shohei Ohtani 700 million dollars for 10 years and 325 million dollars for 12 years to Yamamoto, the best ace in the Japanese professional baseball. If the Dodgers also consider cost-effectiveness, they can fully consider recruiting Pedi.

On the other hand, “The Athletic” did not point out Pedi as a candidate for the Dodgers’ trade acquisition, drawing attention. On the 22nd, “The Athletic” included 50 trade transfer candidates and expected their destinations, including Tarik Skubal, Garrett Crochet, Isaac Paredis, Bob Bissett, Louis Robert Jr., Mason Miller, Max Scherzer, Jesus Luzardo, Tanner Scott, Ryan McMahon, Luis Renhepo, Chris Bassett, Blake Snell, Harrison Bader, Jesse Winker, Michael Kopech and Jordan Montgomery, but Pedi was expected to be one of 17 destinations, but there was no name. 토토사이트 모음

The Astros, St. Louis Cardinals, and Atlanta Braves are expected to reach Peddy’s destinations in the trade market. The fact that Peddy’s contract is tied up until next year and his annual salary next year is only $7.5 million is a merit to many clubs.
