There are more than one club that coveted Song Seong-moon. The conclusion of a multi-year contract has effectively tied the knot in Korea.

Kiwoom Heroes signed a non-FA multi-year contract with infielder Song Sung-moon on the 3rd under the condition of a full six-year and 12 billion won guarantee. Song Sung-moon was scheduled to become an FA after the 2026 season. However, Kiwoom quickly signed a multi-year contract more than a year earlier, completing a long-term contract to play for Kiwoom until 2031.

In fact, Song Seong-moon was also an object of interest to other teams. It was last year that he opened his eyes to baseball in earnest. Having accumulated experience as a full-time infielder, he played 142 games last year, hitting .34 with 179 hits, 19 home runs, 104 RBIs, and 21 steals.




Considering that the team was last, it was Song Seong-moon's 'Monster Season'. As KIA Tigers' Kim Do-young, who won the regular season MVP last year, swept various awards to the third baseman's Golden Glove with his unrivaled presence, Song Sung-moon, the same position, was relatively less prominent, but he clearly reached the peak of his career.

There were some ups and downs at the beginning of this season, but Song Sung-moon, who overcame it quickly, is showing as much performance as last year in Gong-Su-Ju.

Of course, there were many clubs who coveted him. There were several clubs that wanted to trade. It means that Kiwoom has been trading key players such as Park Dong-won, Cho Sang-woo and Choi Won-tae in recent years, so it was not just a rumor, but there was actual demand.




Some clubs that showed interest in recruiting Song Sung-moon have also explored the possibility of a trade among working-level officials. However, there was no transaction that reached the stage of completion enough for the final card to exchange. Kiwoom was also not willing to release Song Sung-moon as a trade card right away. This is because Kiwoom is also hit hard if Song Sung-moon, who is likely to advance to the Major League and plays the role of team leader, is excluded.

An official from the A club who was interested in the Song Sung-moon trade said "I'm very coveted because he is a talented player in many ways. However, it doesn't seem easy to match the trade card, he said, expressing regret several times.

Even if they did not make a trade offer, some clubs were quietly waiting for Song Sung-moon's FA qualification. Song Sung-moon is an infield agent who can defend second and third bases, and he has long-shot power and steal ability. Last year, the on-base percentage exceeded 40%. If the team's performance is supported, the team's power will inevitably be upgraded on the premise of recruiting a type of batter who can also aim at 30-30??Moon. If Song Sung-moon is released as an FA after the 2026 season, he believes that there is a high possibility of moving to other teams in Korea unless he goes overseas. Kiwoom has not spent much on large internal FA.




Therefore, multiple clubs were preparing to jump into the FA recruitment race when Song Sung-moon came to the market. However, with the signing of a multi-year contract, all these possibilities disappeared. Other clubs were disappointed. Of course, it's a very bitter reality for Kiwoom.
