In a free agent market without two big names, who will compete for the top starting pitcher? And Ryu Hyun-jin’s position is

A major starting pitcher who will dominate the free agent market at the end of this year faced the biggest crisis of his career.

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Julio Urias was arrested and put on trial for domestic violence. There is also the prospect that he could be kicked out of the major leagues.

ESPN reported on the 5th (Korean time), “According to LA police, Urias was arrested on Sunday night on serious domestic violence charges. He was previously arrested on the same charges four years ago.” Urias, who was taken into custody at 1 a.m. Monday, was released at 4:47 a.m. after posting $50,000 bail. He said, “The first trial will be held on the 28th.”

The criminal activity of which Urias was suspected was reportedly violence against his wife. After being arrested by police, the charges were recognized and he was indicted.

In relation to this, the Dodgers said on Twitter, ‘Our club is aware of the incident involving Julio Urias. “Urias will not be with the team while we investigate the facts, and we have no further comment at this time,” the club’s official statement said.

If the charges are confirmed to be true, Urias will not be able to avoid heavy disciplinary action from MLB. He was previously suspended for 20 games in May 2019 for violating the domestic violence policy agreed upon in 2015 by MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Union. Over the past eight years, no player has been disciplined twice for the same reason under this regulation. In the worst case, a suspension of more than one year is expected.

Urias will qualify as a free agent for the first time in his career after this season. You can get a chance to hit the jackpot. Although he fell short of expectations with 11 wins, 8 losses, and an ERA of 4.60 in 21 games this year, he emerged as a top starting pitcher by placing 7th in the NL Cy Young Award in 2021 and 3rd last year. He had a record of 37 wins, 10 losses, and a 2.57 earned run average over two seasons. Before the start of this season, leading local media predicted that Urias would sign a free agent contract worth more than $200 million.

But now the situation has changed 180 degrees. It is unclear whether he will be found criminally guilty or the level of disciplinary action he will receive from MLB, but it is obvious that the club and fans are turning their backs on him.

In relation to this, USA Today said, ‘It is no exaggeration to say that he could have won a contract worth close to $100 million this offseason,’ and ‘It means that Urias has realized something through his sins, that his partner is safe, and that his As you say, it is valid assuming that you are eligible to enjoy privileges as a major league pitcher. But now fans will never believe those words again.’

This means that Urias has now lost the trust of fans as a major leaguer.

USA Today continued, ‘Regardless of Commissioner Rob Manfred’s suspension, Urias’ future has become very uncertain. Trevor Bauer said, “When an athlete’s behavior gets to the point where it destroys his talent, he must have realized that paying customers will never tolerate seeing him in uniform, regardless of his contribution to the team.” He said, “We may have reached that point.”

This means that he is in a similar situation to Bauer, who is currently playing in Japanese professional baseball. In May 2021, the first season of his three-year contract with the Dodgers, Bauer was placed on administrative leave and suspended from MLB for over 1 year and 6 months on charges of sexual assault, and was effectively expelled from the Major League.

As a result, Urias, following Shohei Ohtani, was effectively excluded from the free agent market at the end of this year. Ohtani was diagnosed with a ruptured elbow ligament, so surgery is inevitable. His agent, Nez Valero, said he will undergo a simpler surgery rather than Tommy John surgery, but in any case, it is impossible for him to return to the mound, at least for the first half of next year.소닉카지노

With Ohtani and Urias missing, the ranking of starting pitchers in the free agent market at the end of this year is approximately Blake Snell, Aaron Nola, Eduardo Rodriguez, Lucas Giolito, Jordan Montgomery, and Sonny Gray. As of this day, Snell, who is ranked first in combined ERA and hitting percentage in both leagues, is expected to demand more than $200 million in the free agent market as he is expected to win the NL Cy Young Award. Nola and Rodriguez are also expected to sign contracts worth $100 million.

In addition, market demand for Ryu Hyun-jin, who succeeded in making a comeback after Tommy John surgery, and Clayton Kershaw, who overcame frequent injuries, is expected to grow relatively. Both are expected to be able to easily sign a 1+1 year or 2 year contract.
