There was no recruitment of Son Heung-min (Tottenham).

British media ‘Tribuna’ reported on the 2nd (Korea Standard Time) that “Barcelona has decided to exclude Son Heung-min and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) and prioritize young talent.”

According to Miguel Rico, Barcelona’s Deku has chosen a strategy of recruiting young players for his team’s long-term success. “Son Heung-min and Salah are world-class players, but Barcelona is looking to build a team of young players who can contribute over the next several seasons,” he said.

Barcelona has been experiencing financial difficulties and reorganization of its squad in recent years, increasing its dependence on the youth system and young players. Players from the youth ranks, such as Ramin Yamal, Gavi, and Alejandro Valde, are playing important roles in the squad. Currently, it has become Barcelona’s new philosophy and recruitment base. This has resulted in the exclusion of veteran players, such as Son Heung-min and Salah, who are in their 30s.

Recently, a lot of attention has been paid to Son Heung-min’s move. There is a lot of talk about the possibility of renewing Tottenham’s contract to Saudi Arabia. In addition, the possibility of a transfer to La Liga was mentioned.

Son Heung-min, the “captain” who joined Tottenham in 2015, will end his contract after the 2024-25 season. As the next season approaches, local media are dealing with Tottenham’s situation and speculating on Son’s future moves.

Tottenham was determined to protect Son Heung-min because it sent Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), a former top European striker, to another team. Tottenham is recognizing that it is a spiritual pillar of the locker room as it is expanding its influence from key players to young players. Some warned that if Tottenham sends Son Heung-min, it will not be able to win the title, which was a long-cherished task.

Tottenham formed a consensus by negotiating re-signing with Son Heung-min. “Football Insider” announced in March that “Even Chairman Daniel Levy will personally renew his contract.” He also reported that he will continue to accompany Tottenham unless there is a big deal, saying he will sign the renewal of his contract this summer.

Recently, things have been different. Son Heung-min and Tottenham’s current contract is until June 2025. However, conditions for the club to arbitrarily extend the contract for another year are included. Sports media “The Athletic” predicted that Son will wear Tottenham’s uniform by 2026. It is expected that the club will not sign a new contract and continue to accompany Son by utilizing the existing contract clause.

According to Football Insider, Tottenham’s plan is clear. He will sign a contract with Son until 2026 using the option of extending his contract by one year. After that, he will gain an advantage when renewing his contract, and if the situation is not good, he will be sent off in 2025.

A year later, the deal could be even sold. Alan Hutton, who played for Tottenham in the past, claimed, “I think Tottenham put an option to extend their contract for one year to protect them. If someone replaces Son, then Tottenham can get a transfer fee accordingly.” The view was that Tottenham would make money from the transfer fee using Son with one year left on their contract.

Son, 토토사이트 꽁머니 who was born in 1992, is at an age when his performance will decline any time. As a result, the club could have thought that a long-term renewal of his contract with Son would result in a huge financial crisis.

However, it is a different story if the main character is Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is a legendary player of Tottenham in name and reality, and has been watching Tottenham for nearly 10 years. As a result, Tottenham fans are insisting that Tottenham should treat Son as a legend by renewing his contract for a long time.

For now, chances are high that Son will stay. “Tottenham knows how big Son Heung-min is. He is in his 30s, but he is still a great player. He is one of Tottenham’s best stars and seems to be enjoying his captaincy,” said Alessdair Gold, a reporter for Football London.

“Tottenham and Son Heung-min have the option of a one-year extension contract. This option gives a sense of stability, and if both sides want to renew their contracts, they will likely reach an agreement,” he said.

The Atlanta Hawks, who missed Tray Young, will be fined $100,000.

The NBA secretariat announced on the 27th (Korea Standard Time) that it has fined Atlanta $100,000 (about 139.56 million won) for violating the league’s player participation policy.

The match will be a showdown between Atlanta and the Boston Celtics in Group C of the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup Eastern Conference held at TD Garden in Boston 카지노사이트, Massachusetts on the 13th. At that time, Atlanta’s ace Young was absent due to Achilles tendinitis. Nevertheless, the team won 117-116.

After the game, the NBA secretariat investigated and discovered that Young did not play even though he was healthy enough to play. Young said he was able to play enough in accordance with his doctor’s advice and the league’s medical policy.

Thus, the NBA Secretariat fined Atlanta $100,000 for violating its player-participation policy. It already fined the Philadelphia 76ers $100,000 this season for failing to properly inform Joel Embiid of his knee injury.

Since last year, the NBA Secretariat has introduced a policy to participate in league players. It has cracked down on healthy star players not to miss regular league games for no apparent reason. In the future, appropriate fines will be used to prevent star players from leaving.

Blake Snell (32), one of the biggest starting pitchers in the Major League Baseball (MLB) free agent market, will head to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The race to recruit the most promising Japanese pitcher is in mystery.

The LA Times, a U.S. media outlet, said on the 27th (Korea time), “According to sources, Snell reportedly signed a five-year contract with the Dodgers for a total of $182 million (254.363 billion won).” The media reported, “The Dodgers, which spent more than $100 million on recruiting Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto last year, opened their wallets to add blockbuster players to the starting rotation again.”

Snell is one of the top left-handers in the MLB. When he was a member of the Tampa Bay Rays, he became the winner of the American League Cy Young Award with 21 wins and 5 losses and a 1.89 ERA in 2018, and also won the National League Cy Young Award with 14 wins and 9 losses and a 2.25 ERA in the 2023 season when he played for the San Diego Padres.

Snell became a free agent after the 2023 season, but failed to sign a long-term contract and signed a two-year contract ($62 million) with the San Francisco Giants. An opt-out clause was included after the 2024 season, and he came back to the market about a year later. Snell joined the team about a week later due to an injury this season. 꽁머니 could not play more than five innings in all three of the first games, and had a break for more than a month due to recurrence of injuries. However, he pitched like a pitcher who won two Cy Young Awards after his return. He went 5-3 with a 3.12 ERA in 20 games he played in the 2024 season. After securing competitiveness, he checked his value in the free agent market again and was selected as the winner of the 2024 MLB World Series.

As Snell headed to the Dodgers, Japanese pitcher Rocky Sasaki’s move to advance to MLB through posting also went into the fog. Rumors of Sasaki’s trip to the Dodgers were so rampant that there were suspicions of tempering. The fact that Japanese players Ohtani and Yamamoto are playing on the team made the connection stronger.

Sasaki’s agent denied the “contract theory.” In this situation, Snell, a “blockbuster-class” pitcher, headed to the Dodgers. The Dodgers’ starting lineup, where Ohtani returns as a pitcher in the 2025 season, is by no means weak. Walker Buehler has qualified as an FA, but he still has a lot of resources. It is questionable whether the Dodgers, which even Snell joined, will send Sasaki a love call.

Blake Snell (32), a left-hander who won the Cy Young Award twice, will head to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the winner of the World Series. Returning to the FA led to a “jackpot” contract.

U.S. ESPN reporter Jeff Bankruptcy said on the 27th (Korea Standard Time) that Snell agreed to a five-year, $182 million contract with the Dodgers. It is the first large contract worth more than 100 million dollars in the FA market with physical examinations left. Snell also posted a composite photo of himself wearing a Dodgers uniform on his SNS.

According to additional reports, the contract includes some “Dipper” who will be paid a later salary. The down payment alone is $52 million, with no opt-out clause and limited trade veto rights.

Dodgers has been suffering from injuries to starting pitchers throughout this year. There were no pitchers in the regular innings. Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Glasnow, the “one-two punch” that they acquired last winter, also failed to complete the full season due to injuries. Though they won the World Series, they had three fixed starters in the postseason and had to play four bullpen days. With Gavin Stone and Clayton Kershaw undergoing surgery, Dodgers put priority on strengthening starting pitchers this offseason and quickly caught top-rated FA Snell.

Snell is a two-time winner of the Cy Young Award(에볼루션카지노). Since his debut with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2016, he has played for the San Diego Padres and the San Francisco Giants, recording 76 wins and 58 losses with a 3.19 strikeout and 1,368 ERA in nine seasons in the Major League.

In 2018, he played in 31 games (180 ⅔ innings) with Tampa Bay, recording 21 wins and 5 losses with 1.79 strikeouts and 221 ERA. In 2023, he won the National League Cy Young Award as a member of the San Diego Padres with 14 wins and 9 losses with 2.25 strikeouts and 234 ERA. He is the seventh player to win the Cy Young Award in the two major leagues after Gailod Perry, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Roger Clemens, Roy Halladay and Max Scherzer. Except for Clemens and Scherzer, who are suspected of drugs, they are all pitchers who have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Snell faced a cold wind unexpectedly last winter when he was curiously introduced to the FA market after receiving the Cy Young Award. As shown in the two Cy Young Awards, the season when he was a high-pitched player but not due to poor ball control was normal. Due to his large and small injuries, he only had two seasons of regulation innings. Since he is a pitcher with low stability and high risk, the clubs did not offer Snell a high-priced long-term contract.

In the end, he signed a two-year, $62 million FA contract with San Francisco on March 20, just before the opening of the season. It was actually an FA re-entry on the condition that the opt-out was included after the season. He promised a year later with “Super Agent” Scott Boras, but the strategy worked.

Snell recorded five wins and three losses with an earned run average of 3.12 strikeouts and 145 strikeouts in 20 games (104 innings). His preparation for the season was not sufficient, probably due to the aftermath of skipping spring training due to delayed contracting. He left the club twice due to adductor muscle and groin injuries in April and June, respectively, and had three losses and an earned run average of 6.31 strikeouts without winning eight games (35 ⅔ innings) in the first half.

However, he regained his physical condition in the second half and made a dramatic comeback. He pitched well against the Cincinnati Reds on Aug. 3 with five wins, no losses, and an earned run average of 1.45 strikeouts in 12 games (68 ⅓ innings). He spent an intense second half of the season with his changeup coming back to life on his average 95.9 mph (154.3 kph) four-seam fastball, and he entered the FA market as an opt-out after a season. He was classified as a special starting FA along with Corbin Burns and Max Fried, and was the first to decide his destination.

The five-year, 182 million dollars amounts to 36.4 million dollars annually. This is higher than Gerrit Cole, who signed a nine-year, $324 million contract with the New York Yankees in December 2019 for an annual average of 36 million dollars. Although the contract period is shorter than Cole’s, he received the highest annual treatment for pitchers based on contracts for more than five years. It is also the Dodgers’ commitment to win the World Series for the second consecutive year.

The Dodgers, which invested heavily in Shohei Ohtani (US$700 million for 10 years), Shouhei Yamamoto (US$325 million for 12 years) and Glasnow (US$136.5 million for 5 years) last winter, spent a lot of money again this winter by recruiting Snell. The Dodgers, whose starting lineup has been greatly upgraded, with Ohtani, Yamamoto, Glasnow and Snell returning to the mound. If Tony Gonsolin, Dustin May and Kershaw, who are injured in Snell, return, they will also be able to become the best starting team in the league in terms of quantity. If we catch Rocky Sasaki, a Japanese pitcher who is challenging the Major League through posting, it will truly be a mound that can usher in the era of the Dodgers Dynasty.
