It's already been three weeks since the FA market opened.

Twenty-one of the 30 FA-qualified individuals applied for FA and came to the market. Among them, 10 FA visited the new nest until the 29th, including Kang Baek-ho (KRW 10 billion in total transfer to Hanwha), Park Chan-ho (KRW 8 billion in total transfer to Doosan), Park Hae-min (KRW 6.5 billion in total remaining in LG) and Lee Young-ha (KRW 5.2 billion in total remaining in Doosan).

Five have transferred, and five have chosen to stay. The total contract amount for 10 people is 47.1 billion won. Four of the six A-level players (Park Chan-ho, Kang Baek-ho, outfielder Choi Won-joon, pitcher Choi Won-joon) signed contracts, and four of the eight B-level players (Park Hae-min, Cho Joon-young, Lee Young-ha) visited the team. Of the seven C-level players, only two (Han Seung-taek and Kim Hyun-soo) succeeded in signing the contract.




There are 11 remaining FA. Grade A includes two, Kim Tae-hoon (33), Cho Sang-woo (31), and Grade B includes Kim Bum-soo (30), Lee Seung-hyun (34), Jang Sung-woo (35), Kim Sang-soo (37), and Grade C includes Son Ah-seop (37), Hwang Jae-gyun (38), Yang Hyun-jong (37), Choi Hyung-woo (42), and Kang Min-ho (40).

There are six pitchers, two catchers, one infielder, and two outfielders. There are no starting agents among pitchers, and all six are bullpen pitchers.

Among the remaining FA, Kim Bum-soo is receiving the most attention. He is the only left-handed bullpen pitcher among the remaining FA. Kim Bum-soo, who went between starting and bullpen in Hanwha, recorded 27 wins, 47 losses, 5 saves, 72 holds, and an ERA of 5.18 in 481 games. He posted a career high season of 2-1 with two saves and six holds with a 2.25 ERA in 73 games ahead of the FA this season.




Cho Sang-woo is also a must-win bullpen pitcher needed to strengthen his power. He recorded a 3.21 ERA with 39 wins, 31 losses, 89 saves and 82 holds in 415 games.

He also had a good batting average of 370, 24 home runs and 86 RBIs in 133 games this season.




Yang Hyun-jong recorded 186 wins and 127 losses with a 3.90 ERA. After Song Jin-woo, who recorded 210 wins, he is ranked second in the total number of wins. He pitched 2,656 ⅔ innings, ranking second after Song Jin-woo's 3,003 innings.

This is Kang Min-ho's fourth FA for the first time in history. He has played in 2,496 games and recorded the most appearances. Next season, he will play 2,500 games for the first time in his history. He posted a career batting average of 277 with 350 homers and 1313 RBIs.

What will happen to the remaining 11. With Kim Jae-hwan and Hong Gun-hee, who were released as free agents from Doosan, the FA market is still the subject of interest.
