'Do you want a premium shortstop? Then it's Kim Ha-sung.'

Kim Ha-sung (30), who boldly threw out a guaranteed salary of $16 million (about 23.5 billion won) and jumped into the FA market, is showing signs of breaking a big deal in the near future. With various market conditions turning in Kim Ha-sung's favor, Scott Boras, his agent and widely known as the 'Devil's Agent', has embarked on a full-fledged 'Kim Ha-sung Sales'.

As soon as Boras opened his mouth, the local atmosphere changed dramatically. Several media outlets that caught the breath of Boras are enthusiastic about Kim Ha-sung again.




Boras participated in the Major League Winter Meeting, which began in Orlando, Florida on the 9th (Korea time), and began to appeal his FA players to the market in earnest. Among them, Kim Ha-sung is included. Boras emphasizes that it is a premium shortstop in offense and defense who has regained his health as Kim Ha-sung's selling point.

I can't say it's an exaggeration. In fact, in the current Major League FA market, there are no shortstop with both offensive and defensive skills even if they look for it. There is a bobiset, the biggest fish in the FA shortstop, but the difference between offensive and defensive power is remarkable. The offense is certain to be at a premium, but it is evaluated to be below average in defense.

Kim Ha-sung is a player who can soothe this regret. Although his offense is slightly lower than Bissett's, he is a player who can fully offset it in defense and baserunning ability. Boras is appealing this very point.




Boras' marketing is already working. Local media are actively reflecting Boras' comments and showing interest in Kim Ha-sung.

Free Press, a leading media outlet in Detroit, is a representative example. The media reported on the 10th that the Detroit Tigers are showing interest in Kim Ha-sung again this time following last winter. The media then directly delivered the comments Boras made at the winter meeting, helping to boost the value of Kim Ha-sung.

The outlet described Boras as a popular sale on the undoubtedly shortstop chart against Kim Ha-sungBoras emphasized that if he finds such a player, it will only be Kim Ha-sung because the availability of premium defensive shortstop in the FA market is slim, he said.




Detroit is not the only club showing interest in Kim Ha-sung. The Atlanta Braves, who played this year, are also seeking re-entry.

Boras said through local media that `a number of clubs have been inquiring about Kim Ha-sung. Kim Ha-sung came to the FA market while maintaining his health. He once again emphasized that he is currently the best shortstop in the FA market with both offense and defense. The atmosphere continues to turn to its advantage. It seems highly likely that Kim Ha-sung will sign a new large FA contract within this year.
