Will there be a "Santa contract".
A total of 20 FA came to the market on November 6, of which 14 signed contracts for 45 days until the 20th.
Even though Choi Jung is the third FA, he signed a four-year contract with SSG Landers, his original club, for a total of 11 billion won, making him a huge baseball conglomerate with a total of 30.2 billion won as a FA alone.
Only two starters from this FA have made satisfactory contracts. Um Sang-baek will transfer to Hanwha for a four-year total of 7.8 billion won, and Choi Won-tae to Samsung for a four-year total of 7 billion won.
Shortstop Shim Woo-joon moved to Hanwha for a total of 5 billion won, and Jang Hyun-sik moved to LG with a full guarantee of 5.2 billion won without four-year incentives. Heo Kyung-min, who signed a contract with Doosan for a total of 8.5 billion won in 4+3 years four years ago, shook off the remaining contract of 2 billion won for three years and applied for an FA again, and changed his uniform to KT for a total of 3 billion won for four years. Kim Kang-ryul will move the locker room from Doosan to LG in Jamsil Stadium for a total of 1.4 billion won for 3+1 years.
Lotte succeeded in staying all of its Grade A bullpen pitchers. Kim Won-joong remained at 5.4 billion won for four years, and Koo Seung-min also signed 2+2 years and 2.1 billion won.
Samsung also succeeded in maintaining its fielder's strength by signing a four-year, 2.6 billion won contract with infielder Ryu Ji-hyuk and two-year, 600 million won contract with outfielder Kim Heon-gon.
Woo Kyu-min will continue to play for KT for two years and 700 million won, while hold king Noh Kyung-eun signed a two-plus-year contract with SSG for a total of 2.5 billion won. Lim Jung-ho also remained with NC for a three-year total of 1.2 billion won.
45 days have passed since the FA market opened. It is time to fully grasp the market situation.
The team has signed a contract with Kia for the 46th day. Lim Ki-young signed a contract to stay with Kia.
KIA announced on the 21st that it signed a three-year contract with Lim Ki-young for a total of 1.5 billion won (300 million won in down payment, 900 million won in annual salary, and 300 million won in incentives).
There are five remaining free agents. Two pitchers are Lee Yong-chan (35) and Moon Sung-hyun (33), while three fielders are Seo Geon-chang (35), Kim Sung-wook (31), and Ha Joo-seok (30). Among them, Lee Yong-chan and Ha Joo-seok are in grade B, while Seo Geon-chang, Moon Sung-hyun and Kim Sung-wook are in grade C.
Lee Yong-chan, who played as the closing pitcher for the NC Dinosaurs, recorded three wins, nine losses and 16 saves with two holds and an ERA of 6.13 in 57 games this season. He had good performance through July. He recorded an ERA of 2.82 with three wins and six losses and 16 saves in 45 games. However, he has had three losses and an ERA of 21.41 in 12 games since August.
Moon Sung-hyun recorded an ERA of 6.57 with one win, two losses, three saves and two holds in 42 games this season.
Seo has secured his first free agent status since the 2021 season, but he has postponed it until the end of this season, his fourth, and confidently applied for the position at the Kia Tigers. Although he is not a main player, he contributed to Kia's victory by posting a batting average of .310 (63 hits in 203 at-bats) and 26 RBIs in 94 games. Negotiations have not made progress. He has downgraded to Grade C, but no news has been heard about his contract.
Ha is the youngest 30-year-old free agent among the remaining free agents. As the Hanwha Eagles recruited Shim Woo-joon as a shortstop, Ha's position, he cannot play as a starting member even if he remains with the Hanwha Eagles. Since Ha is not a starting member, it is not easy to expect a high ransom. As he is rated B, it is not easy to move.
Due to drunk driving disciplinary action, he played in only 64 games in the second half and posted a batting average of 292 (40 hits in 137 times at bat) with one homer and 11 RBIs. He was a promising player who was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in 2012, but failed to display as good performance as expected. Kim Seong-wook hit 17 homers despite his poor accuracy by posting a batting average of 204 (73 hits in 358 times at bat) in 129 games. 메이저사이트
