NC Dinos Release Former Home Run King Davidson... "In Process of Recruiting New Batter"

The professional baseball team NC Dinos has decided to release foreign hitter Matt Davidson (35), a former home run king.
The club announced today (June 26), "After a comprehensive review to strengthen our team's power and competitiveness for the second half of the season, we have decided to replace the player," adding, "We are currently in the process of recruiting a new foreign hitter and will make an announcement as soon as the contract is finalized."
NC General Manager Im Sun-nam stated, "This decision was made after a careful review of our roster to bounce back in the second half," and added, "We are grateful for the time the player spent with the team."
Davidson, who joined the NC uniform in 2024, became the league's home run king that year with 46 home runs and recorded 116 RBIs.
Although he served as a key hitter last season with 36 home runs and 97 RBIs, his power has significantly declined this season, recording a batting average of 0.286 with 8 home runs and 37 RBIs in 62 games.
