KBO announced the list of players on hold for 2026 on the 30th.
Each club submitted a list of players withheld to KBO by the deadline of the 25th.
There were a total of 597 registered players for the 2025 season. During the regular season, a total of 29 players, including free agents, voluntary termination, military holdouts, FA non-contracted players, and players withheld, were excluded, and the final 568 were announced as 2026 holdouts.
By club, SSG and Kiwoom had the most with 61. It was followed by LG and Lotte with 59, NC and Doosan with 58, KIA with 56, Hanwha, Samsung, and KT with 52.
With a total of 54 players removed from the pending list due to release and retirement, there are notable players.
In particular, attention is being paid to whether foreign players will move to other teams among those who have been released because the club has not exercised their right to withhold.
After showing his appearance as a quality start machine at Kiwoom last year, left-hander Heyesus, who played for KT this year, is a strong candidate for re-employment. He suffered ups and downs at KT, but he is a special left-hander who can win more than 10 games if his physical condition is normal.
The same goes for KIA's home run hitter Wizdom. He made his KBO League debut this year and ranked third in home runs with 35 home runs. However, he was weak in scoring and his batting average was low. KIA chose to part ways. However, the news is that the foreign batter market is in a bad year this year. Any team that expects a home run deserves to be interested in Wisdom.
If both of them go to the new team, they have to sign a contract within the maximum limit of $1 million for foreigners.
In addition, as is known early on, fans are paying keen attention to which team Kim Jae-hwan, who came to the market by inserting an opt-out from his contract four years ago, will go.
