“For the first time, I got a three-digit (over 1 million dollars) salary. I have been playing for the United States for 12 years, and this day has come.”
Major Leaguer Choi Ji-man (30, Tampa Bay Race), who stood in front of the reporters after the annual salary adjustment hearing, gave meaning to the annual salary breakthrough of $1 million, saying, “I had a good experience.”
On the 5th, Ji-man Choi held a press conference at a hotel in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, and expressed his position regarding the annual salary adjustment. He requested an annual salary of $2.45 million in 2021, but the club adhered to the $1.85 million offer and went to the annual salary adjustment committee.
Despite the cumbersome process, only Choi’s expression was bright. Choi Ji-man said, “I had an annual salary adjustment hearing through video until 4:30 am today. It was a good atmosphere.” “It was my first time experiencing it, but it was fun. My agent defended me well, and the club played the team’s captain well.” After staying in the minor leagues for a long time and debuting in the big leagues in 2016, Mann Choi seemed to take pride in the eligibility itself to apply for a salary adjustment, which is only given to players who have completed three years of service time. He said, “I was very pleased to be qualified to exercise the rights of the players.”
On the 6th, the annual salary coordination committee consisting of three members raises one of the clubs and players. Choi Ji-man, who had an annual salary of $850,000 last year, will receive at least $1.85 million this year. Choi Ji-man said, “The tax is high and you have to pay the agent’s blood. “The amount of money in my hand is not that big,” he said, but was proud, saying, “I get a three-digit annual salary for the first time.” Choi Ji-man, who has set his goal for the new season, is leaving for the United States on the 7th.
