The LG Twins were pursuing Akitake Okada, a pitcher for the Ulsan Whales, as a replacement for injured foreign player Wells. LG inquired about the recruitment process with the KBO and initially received a response that there were no problems. However, after further reviewing the relevant regulations, the KBO determined that transfers of Futures League players to KBO teams are only possible within a specific period. As a result, LG abandoned the recruitment of Okada, and the KBO apologized for the lack of regulation review.
