Seoul Heroes in Trade Talks???

Sounds like it.

It appears that the Heroes are shopping outfielder Lee Taek-geun to the LG Twins. The asking price is 2 players(I'm assuming younger players) and a lot of cash. Last year, the Heroes tried to sell lefty Jang Won-sam to Samsung, but the trade was blocked by the KBO main office. Jang struggled his way to 5.00 ERA in only 19 starts during an injury plagued year. Even with his struggles, he would have been better than most of the zombies Samsung was using. It will be interesting to see if this trade is allowed to happen.

Lee posted a .311/.408/.467 line in 456 plate appearances last season. He scored 84 runs and drove in 66. He finished the year with 15 homers and 43 SB's. He's one of the better all around athletes on the Heroes and would likely bring the most back in a trade.

Heroes need to trade a player or two for a company to put their name in front of the team name..
