Right-hander Denny Reyes (30), who created the "Autumn Miracle" of the Samsung Lions in the 2024 season, will eventually head to the Taiwanese stage. Haengseon City is the Tungy Lions of the Taiwan Professional Baseball League (CPBL). What is interesting is that Reyes is in the position of Felix Peña (36), a foreign pitcher from the Hanwha Eagles.
The Tung Lions signed Reyes, a right-hander from the Dominican Republic who played for the Samsung Lions in the 2024 season, on the 26th. Earlier in the day, he announced that he is negotiating with Peña to renew his contract, but despite several conversations, he has not yet reached an agreement.
Reyes is a pitcher who gave an unforgettable gift to Samsung fans in the 2024 season. Reyes, who played 26 regular league games in the 2024 season with an 11-4 record and a 3.81 ERA, played even better in baseball that fall. After leaving a formidable record of two wins and no losses with an ERA of 0.66 in two playoff games with the LG Twins, he also pitched in one game with the KIA Tigers in the Korean Series and became a winning pitcher with a record of one run (unearned) in seven innings. Despite Connor Seabold (30) who was unable to take the mound due to injury at the time, Reyes' performance alone allowed Samsung to win three games in fall baseball in the 2024 season.
Reyes, who decided to accompany Samsung in the 2025 season, was unfortunately replaced due to injury. After playing 10 regular league games for Samsung in the 2025 season with 4 wins, 3 losses and a 4.14 ERA, he left Samsung unfortunately due to a fine fracture in his right foot. When he left, Reyes moved many fans by shedding tears on the Samsung club's official channel. Reyes' replacement foreign player was Ghaherson Garavito, 31.
After breaking up with Samsung, Reyes returned to his home country of the Dominican Republic and built himself while Leonese del Descoge was also part of the club. There is no official appearance in this winter league, but he continued to train.
Meanwhile, Tung, who was slow to renew his contract with Felix Peña, was caught on the radar. Peña was classified as a subject to renew his contract with a 10-3 record and 1.91 ERA in 21 CPBL games in the 2025 season, but he rarely stamped it. In the end, the club signed Reyes in a surprise move. With this, Reyes is expected to take charge of the starting rotation along with Jackson Stevens (32), Brock Dyckson (32), who played for the SK Wyverns (the predecessor of SSG Landers), and Jordan Balazovic (28), a former Doosan Bears player.
Tung won the first half of the 2025 season, but failed to advance to the Taiwan Series after falling behind the Rakuten Monkeys by 2-3 in the first stage of the postseason. Attention is also focusing on whether Tuong, who is trying to recapture the top of the Taiwanese series for the first time in six seasons since the 2020 season, will be able to achieve his goal with Reyes' "Autumn Instinct."
