KIA has traded catcher and mid-long-distance hitter Park Dong-won.
Because the opposing team was Kiwoom, the KBO, which carefully looked at details such as the amount of cash, finally approved it following much deliberation.

Kiwoom’s host, Park Dong-won, changed into a KIA uniform just before the game.
Kiwoom and Kia traded Park Dong-won for Kim Tae-jin, the 2023 rookie 2nd round pick, and 1 billion won in cash.
With the addition of franchise star Park Dong-won, KIA is expected to not only strengthen the power of its catchers, but also strengthen the structure of the strike line.
KIA coach Kim Jong-guk also expressed his expectation that Park Dong-won would achieve a balance between left and right hitters, saying that he was a player whose skills were verified in karate.
The KBO, who received the request for approval, following two days of discussion, concluded that there was no problem with the trade and approved it.
The trade is a matter of the club’s discretion, but it is a transaction that goes beyond common sense in terms of power.
It seems that the person concerned was deeply concerned as Kiwoom caused considerable controversy by selling players.
It is also known that the new KBO President Huh Gu-yeon’s intention not to acquiesce here was also strong.
Kiwoom has been criticized for prolonging the club by disposing of the main players while receiving back money, and rumors abound that there will be another trade card.
