빅리거 출신 투수 김병현(35·넥센 히어로즈)이 1:1 트레이드를 통해 KIA 타이거즈 유니폼을 입는다.
넥센과 KIA 구단은 김병현을 투수 김영광(23)과 맞바꾸는 트레이드를 단행했다고 10일 발표했다.
수창초-무등중-광주제일고-성균관대 출신인 김병현은 1999년 미국프로야구 애리조나 다이아몬드백스에 입단하며 메이저리그 생활을 시작했다.
이후 보스턴 레드삭스, 콜로라도 로키스, 플로리다 말린스(현 마이애미 말린스), 샌프란시스코 자이언츠 등에서 2007년까지 9시즌 동안 394경기에 나서 54승 60패, 86세이브, 평균자책점 4.42를 기록했다.
2001년 애리조나, 2004년에는 보스턴에서 월드시리즈 챔피언에 올라 아시아인 최초로 양대 리그에서 우승을 경험했다.
2011년 일본프로야구 라쿠텐 골든이글스를 거쳐 2012년 넥센과 계약하며 한국 무대에 섰다.
김병현은 한국에서 개인통산 34경기에 출전해 8승 12패에 3홀드, 방어율 5.44를 기록했다.
김병현은 한국에 돌아온 지 3년째인 올해 고향 팀으로 복귀했다.
김병현은 "이번 트레이드로 고향 팀인 KIA로 옮기게 됐다"며 "어쩌면 마지막 도전이 될 수도 있는데 고향 팀에서 유종의 미를 거두고 싶다"고 트레이드 소감을 밝혔다.
한편, 김병현과 유니폼을 바꿔 입는 김영광은 2014 KIA 2차 4순위 지명으로 입단한 좌완 투수다. (연합)

Ex-MLB closer Kim Byung-hyun traded to hometown club in KBO
Former Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Kim Byung-hyun was traded to his hometown club in the top South Korean league on Thursday.
The Nexen Heroes in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) shipped the 35-year-old submarine pitcher to the Kia Tigers, in exchange for 23-year-old left-hander Kim Young-gwang.
The Tigers are based in Gwangju, a metropolitan city about 330 kilometers south of Seoul. Kim was born and raised in the city, before entering a college in Seoul and signing with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 1999.
After last appearing in the majors in 2007, Kim spent 2011 in Japan and joined the Heroes in 2012.
He made 34 appearances for the Seoul-based Heroes in 2012 and 2013, going 8-12 with a 5.44 ERA in 137 1/3 innings. He opened the 2014 season in the Futures League, the KBO's minor league.
"I am coming home, and this could be my last challenge," Kim said through a Heroes' statement. "I hope to end my career on a successful note for my hometown club."
Kim made his major league debut with the Diamondbacks in 1999. Over a nine-year MLB career with four clubs, Kim had 54 wins and 86 saves along with a 4.42 ERA.
Kim recorded a career-high 36 saves with a 2.04 ERA for the Diamondbacks in 2002, earning his lone All-Star selection.
He was a member of the Diamondbacks' World Series-winning team in 2001, and won another ring with the Boston Red Sox in 2004. Kim Young-gwang, going the other way in the trade, was drafted by the Tigers last August. He has a 0-1 record in three appearances in the minors with a 9.45 ERA in 6 2/3 innings. He has yet to pitch in a KBO game. (Yonhap)
