Korean slugger Lee Seung Yeop has agreed to return to the Yomiuri Giants for a second year, but agreed to a 20 million yen (about $177,000) pay cut. He will still make 630 million yen (about $5.5 million).
This past season, Lee was limited to 30 home runs and 74 RBIs
while batting just .274 after suffering injuries, including a damaged
left thumb.
''I am not satisfied with my personal performance this past
season. I didn't fulfill my role as the cleanup man,'' Lee said.
i understand that the union wouldn't be happy about such a precedent, but isn't it a player's prerogative to take the salary that he wants and feels he deserves?
is american culture just greedier, or what?
