Choi Ji-man breaks up with the Mets
Ji-Man Choi (33) said goodbye to the New York Mets of the Major League Baseball (MLB).
The Mets announced on the 1st (Korean time), “Choi Ji-man has decided to exercise his right to opt out (contract termination).”
Ji-Man Choi signed a ‘split contract’ with the Mets in February of this year, which does not guarantee entry into the MLB, and included an opt-out clause in the contract.
Choi Ji-man, who remained in the minor league without exercising his opt-out in April and May, chose to terminate his contract in June.
Once the Mets complete the document work on June 2, Ji-Man Choi will find a new home as a free agent (FA).
MLB.com explained the reason for Choi Ji-man’s parting ways with the Mets, saying, “There is no place for Choi Ji-man in the Mets after being pushed out by Pete Alonso, Mark Vientos, DJ Stewart, etc.” 카지노사이트
This year, Ji-Man Choi has not played in a single big league game.
In the Triple A Syracuse Mets, a minor league affiliated with the Mets, he appeared in 26 games and posted a batting average of 0.190 (16 hits in 84 at-bats), 4 home runs, and 12 RBIs.
His fourth home run this season was hit on the 1st when he decided to opt out.
Ji-Man Choi started as designated hitter number 8 in the home game against the Buffalo Bisons (Toronto Blue Jays) held at NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse, New York, USA on this day, and performed well with 1 hit, 1 walk, and 1 RBI in 2 at-bats.
In the 5th inning, he hit Paxton Schultz’s 141 km/h cut fastball and hit a right-center solo shot that flew 129 m at 173 km/h. It was a farewell to the Mets.
Choi Ji-man’s personal career records in the big league are 525 games, batting average of 0.234 (367 hits in 1,567 at-bats), 67 home runs, 238 RBI, and OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.764.
Choi Ji-man, a left-handed mid-distance gun seeking to re-enter the big leagues, will soon begin negotiations with teams looking to reinforce first base or designated hitter resources. 안전 슬롯사이트
