Eric Pedi (Chicago White Sox), who was named the MVP of the KBO League regular season last year, could be traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the favorite to win the Major League Baseball (MLB) this season, according to local predictions.
The Athletic, a U.S. sports media outlet, predicted the moves of 30 MLB clubs on the 3rd (Korea time), citing the possibility of a trade between the Dodgers and the White Sox, including Peddy.고수익알바
This year, the Dodgers formed a dominant system by ranking first in the National League West with 52 wins and 33 losses, but it is expected to seek to strengthen players in the trade market to win the World Series.
In particular, key starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto is out of power due to a shoulder injury, so he is likely to actively move to strengthen the starting lineup.
On the other hand, the White Sox (24 wins and 62 losses), which are ranked fifth in the American League Central, have virtually moved away from the postseason. In the U.S., the White Sox are expected to use their main players as trade offerings.
The Athletic said, "The Dodgers will package up White Sox Peddy and outfielder Luis Robert Jr. and sign him in a trade."
Peddy, who won the MVP award after winning the most wins (20 wins), ERA (2.00), and strikeouts (209) while playing for the NC Dinos in the KBO League last year, signed a two-year, $15 million (about 20.865 billion won) contract with the White Sox in December of that year and returned to the big league.
Peddy, who returned to MLB for the first time in two years, pitched in 17 games this season with 5 wins, 3 losses and a 3.23 ERA, and is struggling despite his team's poor performance.
"The Dodgers would like pitcher Garrett Crochet, but they would get rejected," The Athletic said. "If they bring in Peddy instead, they will be satisfied. He has shown great performance in his first season back from Korea."
