[스포츠조선 김진회 기자] Kim Ha-sung (25, Kiwoom Heroes), Na Seong-beom (31, NC Dinos), and Yang Hyun-jong (32), who applied for posting (private bidding competition) in the US Major League, have not heard of the big league contract. .
Among these, Ha-sung Kim was the most advanced. The American media praised Kim Ha-sung, who dominated the KBO, even though he was twenty-five. Earlier this month, we discussed the value of 100 million dollars (approximately 110 billion won), but in reality, the club holding Kim Ha-sung must invest 40 million dollars (approximately 44 billion won) for four years. The Toronto Blue Jays’ indirect courtship against Kim Ha-sung became a hot topic. It was also of great interest in the United States that Kim Ha-sung asked Toronto pitcher Hyun-jin Ryu to have dinner.
Relatively, the US media’s interest in Na Seong-beom and Yang Hyeon-jong is weak. Na Seong-beom started running on the 16th as’Super Agent’ Scott Boras. In a video interview with the US reporter, Boras said, “Na Sung-beom is a five-tool player. Although not many people know, Na Sung-beom can run well. And he is a great defender. He is a power hitter and a player who knows what to do in the game. “I praised it. “I know we’re worried about Na Seong-beom, but our mission is to make sure everyone knows that we’re doing our best. It also makes them aware of who Na Seong-beom is.”
On the other hand, Yang Hyeon-jong has a large temperature difference between offline and online. News from the United States after the FA announcement on the 28th was not negative. “The rest of the teams are expressing their interest, except for the clubs with full selection resources,” explained the local agent Josh Purcell, who was appointed by Hyeon-jong Yang. However, online is only quiet. I can hardly find the news of Yang Hyeon-jong.
However, as the end of December comes, news of the three players who want to advance to the big leagues is scarce. This is the expected result. Clubs and agents are paying attention to the club’s process. Clubs are also planning recruitment strategies after the season ends, but first, they make up a list of players who need to leave. This includes non-tenders (the club is giving up the renewal of the next season for players in the 3rd to 5th years of the major league who are eligible to apply for a salary adjustment). After that, the club has time to formulate the estimated operating expenses for the next season. The percentage of posts and free agents in the squad’s total salary should be weighed. In addition, not only the Christmas holidays, but also the aftermath of Corona 19 cannot be ignored. Therefore, the club and the agent with the posting players were expecting to conclude that it could only be released at the end of this year or early January of next year. That expectation seems to have not deviated.
However, the player who will hear the news of the contract is Ha-sung Kim. The posting was posted at 8 am on the 2nd, so the deadline is until 5 pm on January 1st, 2021. The contract is likely to be signed at the end of December or January 1st. Reporter Kim Jin-hoe [email protected]
