NC re-signed Matt Davidson, the KBO League home run king, for $1.5 million this season, and newly recruited right-hander Riley Thompson, who throws a maximum speed of 159 kilometers per hour.

It is best to renew the contract with ace Kyle Hart, who received the KBO League pitcher Golden Glove this year, but Hart is working on his "Plan B" as he is seeking to return to the big league.
