If the batter had not declared to go to ML after Koo Ja-wook, Kim Hye-sung

Ko Young-pyo (33) has been recognized for his value by KT Wiz. One year before the FA, he signed a five-year, 10.7 billion won multi-year contract with KT. In the FA market, most of the mega contracts are up to the batters, but in the non-FA market, pitchers who are in even better shape smile broadly before they qualify as FA.

It is the third of its kind after Kim Kwang-hyun (SSG Landers, four years 15.1 billion won) and Koo Chang-mo (NC Dinos, one year 13.2 billion won). In contrast, Koo Ja-wook (Samsung Lions, 12 billion won for five years) is the only non-FA multi-year contractor worth 10 billion won (approx. Who is the second non-FA multi-year contractor worth 10 billion won (approx.

Most non-FA multi-year contracts were concluded with one year left before the FA. In the 2024-2025 FA market, starting pitchers Choi Won-tae (LG Twins), Um Sang-baek (KT Wiz), and bullpen pitchers such as Kim Won-joong, Koo Seung-min (Lotte Giants), Lim Ki-young, and Jang Hyun-sik (Kia Tigers) are prominent. Fielders have no outstanding players except for Choi Jeong (SSG Landers).

This means that there are no fielders who can sign a non-FA multi-year contract at a high price right away. If so, it should be seen with a long breath, but it is true that young hitters in their early to mid-20s, who stand out in each team, are currently on the target. However, it is unclear whether there is a possibility that clubs will actually try to tie them up with long-term contracts.

Under pressure from the salary cap, if fielders enter the FA market, their ransom could rise further. Recently, talented young players are also considering a major league challenge as an option, although their ransom is huge. A contract worth around 10 billion won (90 million U.S. dollars) for non-FA players will come out someday. However, no one can guarantee right away.

In this regard, if Kim Hye-sung (Kium Heroes), the top second baseman in the KBO league, has yet to announce his move to the Major League, attention is being paid to the compensation. The FA has two years to go. Many say that if Kim continues his skills as an offense and defense pitcher for two years and goes to the FA market between 2025 and 2026, he will lay down 10 billion won (approx. He will still be 27 years old in two years. The figure could easily surpass 10 billion won (approx. "If Kim Hye-sung does not receive 10 billion won, who will receive 10 billion won?" a baseball source said.

What's interesting is whether Kiwoom would have offered Kim a non-FA multi-year contract if Kim had not revealed his Major League dream. In the 2022-2023 FA market, it unexpectedly brought in two foreign FA players (Won Jong-hyun's four-year contract worth 2.5 billion won, Lee Hyung-jong's four-year contract worth 2 billion won), and Lee Won-seok was awarded 1 billion won for 1+1 year during the 2023 season. It is not a team that does not invest. However, it is not objectively and relatively large amount of money. 토토사이트
