미국 언론이 메이저리그 (MLB)의 뉴욕 양키즈가 삼성 라이온스의 마무리 투수 오승환 (31)에 관심을 가지고 있다고 최근 보도했다.
뉴욕 포스트 보도에 따르면 현재 양키즈는 리베라가 은퇴하고 조바 체임벌린, 분 로간 등의 이적이 유력한 상황에서 마무리 투수 보강을 노리고 있다고 한다.
스포츠 전문 매체인 SB네이션에 따르면 리베라의 빈 자리를 데이빗 로버트슨이 메울 것으로 보이고, 이에 따라 양키즈는 로버트슨이 맡았던 8회를 막아줄 선수가 필요하다고 한다.
양키즈가 노릴 것으로 예상되는 선수에는 오승환 외에 기아 타이거즈의 윤석민 (27), 일본의 다나카 마사히로 (25) 등이 있다고 한다.
오승환은 2005년 데뷔 후 통산 444경기에 출전, 277세이브로 한국 프로야구 최다세이브를 기록하고 있다. 올 시즌에는 48경기에 나와 4승 1패, 28세이브 평균자책점 1.74를 기록했다.

Rivera-less Yanks eyeing pitcher Oh: report
The New York Yankees “empire” is poised to strike back from its disappointing 2013 season, and it may seek the help of South Korea’s Oh Seung-hwan, according to U.S. media.
The New York Post on Wednesday reported that the Yankees are one of the teams in Major League Baseball that is showing interest in the 31-year-old relief pitcher, currently playing for the Samsung Lions of South Korea’s top baseball league.
With legendary Mariano Rivera hanging up his spikes after this season and Boone Logan likely to leave, New York’s job at hand is to fill the hole left in its reliever position, it said.
According reports here, several MLB scouts this season have already visited South Korea to check out Oh, whose fastball reaches a maximum speed of 155 km/h. Oh is considered one of the best relievers in the country, and recorded 4-1 with a 1.74 ERA and saved 28 games for the defending champion Samsung Lions.
The Lions are currently playing the Doosan Bears in the championship Korean Series. Samsung dropped Game 1 on Thursday and is looking to rebound in Game 2.
