[情報] Kang and Pirates close to deal

[whalelover (哞哞哞哞王)]

The Pirates and Korean shortstop Jung-ho Kang are moving close to a deal,
sources said.

The sides have been talking about a four-year deal for the power-hitting
infielder who had a monster year for the Nexen Heroes last year, hitting 40
home runs and batting .356 in 117 games. Both sides appear intent on getting
a deal done.

Kang had been thought to be seeking a four-year for about $5 million a year,
and it appears the Pirates are amenable to the length of the deal as their
interest is strong. They are also committed to the $5,002,015 bid fee
already, presuming the deal gets done.

Kang's agent Alan Nero recently told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "At this 
point, I feel confident we'll come to an agreement. The process has been very 
positive."

Kang was a fine shortstop in Korea, and it isn't known yet whether the
Pirates plan to utilize him at shortstop or perhaps have him move around and
play a few positions. Jordy Mercer did a decent job at short for Pittsburgh
last year. The Pirates haven't signed second baseman Neil Walker to a
multi-year deal yet, so it's possible Kang could move over and play second
base starting next year.

The Pirates were a surprise to win the posting process, as they weren't among
the teams to show strong interest prior to bidding.

Kang's huge season last year also included exactly 117 RBI in 117 games, and
a 1.198 OPS.

海賊快要簽下強打游擊手姜正浩

姜正浩在'14年繳出.356/.459/.739 40HR 117RBI的生涯年表現

並且尋求四年左右 每年5M的合約

海賊先前意外以5M標下議約權

海賊目前SS是Mercer 2B是Walker

一般認為可能會把姜正浩轉到二壘 (然後交易掉Walker?)
