The Lotte Giants didn’t get any offers on Ah-seop Son and are now almost certain to post third baseman Jae-gyun Hwang. Would he fit for the Atlanta Braves?
I wrote a couple of weeks ago that the Braves could be players for Ah-seop Son as part of an inexpensive rebuild. It was a minor surprise when no one bid on Son but that hesitation to bid could well have been because teams felt Lotte weren’t going to accept any offer.
The Giant’s also hold rights to Hwang who is nearing the end of his controllability whereas Son remains under their control.
