Doosan Bears surprised many fans when they demoted national team member Park Kun-woo to the Futures League. According to a sports forum, it was due to disciplinary reasons. Before their home game last Tuesday, reporters asked the team’s manager about Park’s demotion to the minor league.
Team manager Kim Tae-hyoung said the demotion had nothing to do with the midfielder’s performance. The manager said that Park was tired and wanted to take some time off. Thus, Kim told him to take all the rest he can in the minor league.
According to baseball betting odds reports, Park is fifth in the Korea Baseball Organization with .333 batting average. Also, he was 12th in the league with a .404 on-base percentage. Last week, the national team picked him as one of the four outfielders on the Olympic roster.
Demoted National Team Member
Doosan Bears is trying to win the KBO title this season. They are currently in sixth place with a record of 32-31 to place them 5 1/2 games behind the leader. Thus, they need all the help they can get from their veterans, including Park.
According to baseball betting reports, Manager Kim said that Park’s demotion to the minor league was for the good of the team. He decided to demote Park because the midfielder was ruining the team’s atmosphere. Thus, he made the call to bring Park to the Futures League.
Kim didn’t provide a timetable of when he would call Park up again. According to KBO rules, a demoted player needs to spend at least ten days in the Futures League before the team can call him up.
The Bears won convincingly against Kiwoom Heroes Tuesday without Park in the lineup. They earned four runs in the first inning and never looked back. The game ended with a score of 10-3 score.
