The Hanwha Eagles ended August with only three wins, and their postseason hopes are fading after a sixth consecutive defeat.
Hanwha lost 7-10 to the NC Dinos at Hanwha Life Ballpark in Daejeon on Aug. 30. After the defeat, manager Kim Kyung-moon said the club would give younger players more opportunities during the remainder of the season.
The headline contrasts that decision with Hanwha’s spending of 100 billion won on free agents, asking whether the team has effectively abandoned its season and will focus instead on player development.
