“After being traded, I felt like I was receiving more love.”
Kim Min-su of LG Twins was preparing for training camp as a Lotte Giants player even after the new year of 2024 dawned. He was excluded from the list of the 1st team camp held in Guam and was supposed to train with the 2nd team. However, the trade occurred just five days before spring training. On January 26th, free agent Kim Min-seong went to the Lotte Giants through a sign-and-trade, and Kim Min-soo became a trade card and ended up going to LG.
And he was immediately included in LG’s first-team Arizona camp roster and left for the United States. LG needs a utility infielder to replace Kim Min-seong. It was a 2nd team camp at Lotte, but the fact that it was upgraded to a 1st team camp when going to LG can be said to be a positive aspect of this season for Kim Min-soo.
Minsu Kim was a promising player who graduated from Incheon Jemulpo High School and joined Lotte in the second round in 2017. He was a former youth representative, completed his military service in the police force, and even played in the Australian league with Geelong Korea. But he definitely didn’t reach the peak of his skills. Until last year, he played in 188 first-team games and recorded a batting average of .204, 106 hits, 3 home runs, and OPS of 0.630 (on-base percentage 0.313, slugging percentage 0.317). In the second-team, he played in 304 games and had a batting average of 2.93. Lee recorded 252 hits, 37 home runs, 163 RBI, and an OPS of 0.876 (on-base percentage of 0.388, slugging percentage of 0.488).
LG judged that Kim Min-soo is an infielder with a great advantage in hitting, has excellent handling in defense, and has a decent throwing ability.
Kim Min-soo expressed his apologies to the Lotte fans who left. When asked by reporters if he had anything to say to Lotte fans, Kim Min-soo said, “Even if I have ten mouths, I have nothing to say.” Kim Min-soo said, “If I had done well, I would not have been traded. The club that gave me the opportunity must have expected something from me, and the fans must have expected me to play, but I am sorry for not being able to meet that expectation.” .
He said that when he was traded, he once again felt the love of Lotte fans. Kim Min-soo said, “I knew I was receiving love from fans, but when I got traded, I received a lot of contacts and DMs (direct messages).” He added, “Seeing that, I felt like I was receiving even more love, and I felt grateful and sorry. “I felt like it,” he said.
Will Kim Min-su, who failed to rise at Lotte, be able to show off his talent by coming to LG? Kim Min-su said, “I don’t think there will be any pressure on defense at all,” and “I want to become a player who makes up for any shortcomings and is like a housekeeper who scratches an itch.”
