Cha Woo-chan, who signed a four-year FA contract with LG for a total of 9.5 billion won in December 2016, achieved double-digit wins for three consecutive years, including 10 wins and 7 losses (3.43 ERA) in 28 games in 2017, 12 wins and 10 losses (6.09 ERA) in 29 games in 2018, and 13 wins and 8 losses (4.12 ERA) in 29 games in 2019. However, in 2020, the last year of his four-year contract, he played 13 games and lost only 5 wins and 5 losses (5.34 ERA).
“In terms of money, I don’t think it was worth that much. I won’t say that I did my best. I played full-time for three years out of my four-year contract. However, if I got paid a lot of money, my grades should have been good, but it didn’t meet my expectations. That’s why I didn’t pay as much as I expected,” Cha said on his YouTube channel.
“The most regrettable thing is that we didn’t have better-than-expected results in the final year of our four-year contract,” he said. “We prepared well ahead of the season. We were in excellent physical condition. We were well enough to start the opening game, but as we did it, it started to hurt a little bit. I’m sorry that we didn’t finish the season properly in the last year.”
Cha Woo-chan also admitted to himself, “I’ve been doing well for four years, but I couldn’t run, so I’m eating and running.” Cha Woo-chan, who signed his second FA contract with LG in 2021 on the condition of a two-year total of 2 billion won, bowed his head, saying, “I’m very sorry to the team for the second contract.” 안전 토토사이트
“I wanted to do it properly, but I didn’t do as well as I wanted and I admit that I didn’t pay properly,” he said. “I still like LG a lot and had fun playing baseball at the time, but I hope you like it. I don’t know how it will help me in the baseball field, but I will pay it back step by step.”
Meanwhile, Cha Woo-chan, who was drafted in the second round by Samsung in 2006 after graduating from Gunsan Commercial High School, played for Samsung, LG and Lotte in 457 games, recording 112 wins, 79 losses, one save and 32 holds an ERA of 4.51. In 2010, Cha won his first 10 games since his debut, and achieved eight double-digit wins in his career.
