As the closure of the MLB in the US prolonged, senior veterans who have not yet found a team are in danger of forced retirement. According to MLB Trade Rumors, a local media on the 28th, the MLB lockout, which started early this month, has passed the year due to an unsuccessful agreement between the club and players, and there is also a dark outlook that it is unclear whether the spring camp will be held in February next year. When lockouts are prolonged, clubs focus on reinforcing power through free agent contracts and trades. As young resources such as Carlos Correa and Freddie Freeman remain in the free agent market, interest in veterans who want to seize an opportunity to extend their active duty through a one-year short-term contract will inevitably be pushed back. MLB Trade Rumors: Jack Greinke, Albert Pujols,Ryan Zimmerman,Brett Gardner,Nelson Cruz,Jed Lowrie. It was analyzed that eight veterans, including jon Lester,were on the verge of forced retirement.Rich Hill recently signed a one-year contract with the Red Sox at the age of 41, but the situation for other players is not good. Greinkey, who played as a right-handed ace when he played with Ryu Hyun-jin for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is on the decline. He is 11-6 with the Houston Astros this season, with a 4.16 ERA.He was excluded from the starting rotation because he was not in his prime and sluggish in the second half.He appeared as a starter in Game 4 of the World Series this year and played without a score in four innings, but the outlook is not bright. Immediately after the fourth game, the media reported that he avoided an immediate answer to the question of whether he would continue his career as a player. Pujols, who finished the season with the Dodgers after being released from the Los Angeles Angels during the season, has hit 17 home runs this year, but age is an obstacle.He has 21 of his 700 home runs left, so he has a strong will to extend his active duty. The MLB Secretariat and the players union want to introduce the National League designated hitter in a new collective agreement.Cruz, who hit 449 home runs in his career, is a veteran in his 40s who has hopes for the National League designated hitter system.
