Hanwha Eagles organized the team.

On the 21st, Hanwha notified pitcher Jang Min-jae, Jang Si-hwan, Yoon Dae-kyung, Lee Choong-ho, and infielder Kim In-hwan and Cho Han-min that they could not renew their contracts in 2026.

Jang Min-jae, who joined the second round of the rookie draft (22nd place) in 2009, played as an Eagles 'One Club Man'. He played in 313 games and recorded a 35-54 record with a 5.11 ERA with four holds. In particular, in 2022, he played 32 games and pitched 126 ⅔ innings, with 7-8 losses and an ERA of 3.55.




Jang Min-jae, who finished the 2023 season and became an FA, also signed a contract for a total of 800 million won for 2+1 years. He took the mound in 26 games in 2024, but this season, he played 14 games in the Futures League alone without taking the first-team mound.

Jang Si-hwan joined the Hyundai Unicorns in the second round (2nd overall) in 2007 and wore the Hanwha uniform in 2020 after passing through the Heroes, KT Wiz, and Lotte Giants.

He played a must-win group with 14 saves and 9 holds in 2022, and posted a 5.31 ERA with 29 wins, 74 losses, 34 saves and 35 holds in 416 appearances. After the 2022 season, he became an FA and signed a three-year contract with Hanwha for a total of 930 million won.




Yoon Dae-kyung joined the Samsung Lions in 2013 and made a fresh start for Hanwha after being released in 2019. He played in 55 games in 2020 with 5 wins and 7 holds with an ERA of 1.59, and also played in 43 games in 2021 with 7 holds. After playing only seven games in 2024, he did not appear in the first team this year, and was eventually notified of his release.

Lee Choong-ho, who was drafted by Hanwha in the fourth round in 2013, appeared in 58 games in total, recording a 3-1 record and a 10.35 ERA with one hold. He played 14 games in the Futures League this year and recorded a 2.81 ERA with one win and two holds.

Kim In-hwan, who started his professional career with Hanwha as a nurturing player in 2016, showed his qualities as a big shot, hitting 16 home runs in 2022. He hit seven home runs in 2023, but he couldn't get a seat.




Jo Han-min, who joined in 2019, played a total of 77 games in 2020 and 2021. He returned from military service in Sangmu, but failed to make the first team. In this year's Futures League, he played 12 games and hit a batting average of 179.
