Selling Himself

I had not heard of Lee Seung-Yeop, a Korean first baseman and slugger, but he's a free agent and he's in the US trying to drum up interest.


The reason why Lee Seung-yeop is moving fast is to heat up the frozen free agent (FA) market. Lee has been worried because he currently does not have a tangible offer since becoming a FA on November 9 and has visited the U.S. on John Kim’s advice that it would be helpful to visit the teams in person. As he expected, his visit has already drawn the attention of U.S. media and major league teams.

With over 200 free agents, it's a buyer's market. This is a good move on Lee's part to generate attention.
