Fans were overjoyed to have acquired a player of Lee’s caliber, and many went completely bonkers upon seeing Kao, Lee’s dog. A video featuring Lee and Kao was shared by the SF Giants X account with the caption:

I bet you didn’t realize Jung Hoo Lee has a plus one 🐶

Fans were quick to voice their opinions, with many comparing Lee to Shohei Ohtani and his dog Decoy, who became a major plot point in Ohtani’s free agency drаmа. Fans will be hoping that Lee, a center fielder who was close to signing with the San Diego Padres, can make an impression in 2024.

The Giants may have spent too much for Jung Hoo Lee, according to many who have analyzed the huge contract. The Athletic was informed by Ryan Sadowski, a former right-hander with the Giants:

“His ceiling was paid for by them. I really hope he meets that ceiling, because I’m predisposed toward the Giants.

This isn’t exactly a glowing recommendation of Lee, but there is reason to be hopeful. An optimistic Farhan Zaidi, president of operations for the Giants, spoke at Friday’s inaugural press conference about Lee’s future:

We see this as a fantastic match. Our offseason plans always included becoming a more physically аggressive offense, increasing our contact rate, and playing the style of baseball that is currently popular in the industry.Honestly, when we considered our alternatives this summer, Jung Hoo was the only target or player that was a better match for our goals.

Lee, on the other hand, said:

From my time here as a young baseball player, I have adored the Bay Area. I will never stop figҺting for the sake of my friends and comrades; I am here to win. Come on, Giants!

Jung Hoo Lee’s adjustment to Major League Baseball will be fascinating to see, what with his fervent fan base and the increased visibility of his dog.
