Chosun Sports = Reporter Jeong Hyun-seok

The ‘Jan Jeong-seok scandal’ hit professional baseball before the opener.

Dismissal of the general manager due to money demands. This is a very unusual and shocking incident.

Speaking about the contract with Park Dong-won (LG Twins), who belonged to KIA last year, the words of KIA general manager Jang Jeong-seok, “Give me some money,” were recorded and presented to the Professional Baseball Players. Council and KIA club.

Director Jang, who explained that “it was just a joke during the conversation,” announced that he intended to resign as the situation worsened. Through the disciplinary committee, the KIA club decided dismissal as the highest disciplinary action rather than resignation.

Last week, the world of professional baseball suffered from a series of member flights.

Former Lotte pitcher Seo Jun-won was charged on the 23rd with sex crimes against minors. He was immediately released from his team, Lotte, and was banned from participating in the KBO.

The point where only a week had passed since the shocking incident. An unbelievably terrifying thing happened again.

Responsibility belongs to the result, not the intention. Redundancy is a natural consequence.

The wounds left by those who left are the responsibility of those who stay.

Such deviant behavior can damage the image of the whole group.

There are various speculations that have yet to be confirmed.

Unconfirmed speculation continues as if it has been repeated many times in the past, as if it has become routine in the world of professional baseball. The morality of professional baseball workers is in danger of falling to the ground.

Looking at this situation, the heads of other clubs cannot hide their disappointment.

This is because it can be considered a wholesale price just because it is in the same location. If such a negative outside gaze hardens into social conviction, it can be a fatal blow that is difficult to recover from.

Is it really possible for high-ranking officials from each club, who are negotiating parties, to receive money back from free agents who receive huge ransoms?

After receiving this question, the head coaches of each club jumped up and down.

The fact that it is structurally impossible has been emphasized many times. At the same time, he expressed great regret, saying that former general manager Jang Jeong-seok’s words were ‘incredibly inappropriate words and actions’.

The A Team general manager said, “I am concerned. It is a stretch to speculate that this deviant behavior could happen elsewhere. Absolutely not. It is physically impossible. FA contracts are being negotiated with’ r members and team leaders. Agents are also present. Our club is present. a story that doesn’t systematically make any sense,” he said in a strong tone, saying, “I have a lot of personal disappointment. I can’t understand .

The head of Team B also said, “This can never happen. Such a thing cannot be hidden. Under the club system, discussions are held in multiple meetings between the team leader, the management team leader, and the management team staff. face to face discussions with players, agent present, There is no way something like this would be possible in today’s world.”

The C-Team boss also said, “This is an absolutely impossible story. Under the current professional baseball system, it is impossible to seek a refund transaction through a deal with a player. “It’s a nuisance to people,” he said, failing. to hide his excitement.

The former team leader Jang Jeong-seok is responsible for all this, and he spoke inappropriately.

However, it seems necessary to be wary of hasty generalizations of a negative gaze towards a group beyond the factual relationship.
