Why does Park Chan-ho look cheap when it comes to 2.4 billion batters and 5 billion pitchers when it comes to 14 holds

This season's FA's biggest fish was narrowed down to shortstop Park Chan-ho and slugger Kang Baek-ho. In particular, Park Chan-ho's ransom issue was hot even before the market opened. He is a good player, but the debate began as to whether it makes sense to talk about 10 billion won for four years. For some reason, the sudden emergence of Park Chan-ho's 10 billion won theory shook the market.
Eventually, Park Chan-ho became the No. 1 contractor in the FA market this year. Doosan Bears gave a total of 8 billion won. The down payment is a whopping 5 billion won for the full guarantee. It was a huge contract. The 10 billion won fire was extinguished, but there were talks that the down payment might shake the market order.
On the contrary, Park Chan-ho's contract seems reasonable. There are even lamentations in the industry that `Does this ransom make sense?'
Kang Baek-ho, who signed a 10 billion won contract with the Hanwha Eagles, Park Hae-min, who agreed to 6.5 billion won with the LG Twins, and Kim Hyun-soo, who signed a seal with KT Wiz for 5 billion won, may be excluded. Apart from Overpay, these players have been in competition for recruitment and have achieved clear weapons and results.

On top of that, the possibility of signing pitcher Lee Young-ha's contract is mentioned. However, the estimated ransom is no joke. It seems that it could be more than 5 billion won in total for four years.
Lee Young-ha is the type of pitcher preferred by coaches. It is highly valuable because it can play as a starter and bullpen all-weather. It means there's something more than grade.

The player who can hit .300, steal 30 bases, and above all, the most stable shortstop defense in the league was in trouble for 8 billion won, but looking at the ransom of other players, the controversy over 'Overpay' seems to be going in.
