The San Diego club unveiled the scene of Kim Ha-sung visiting and signing a contract today.
We also sent a welcome message in Korean through the club’s SNS.
Ha-sung Kim expressed his joy in delivering the news of the contract on the first day of the new year and his gratitude to the fans.
Details of the contract were also revealed.
$28 million for 4-year coverage plus $4 million for options.
If the contract is extended by one year, it is a condition that you can receive up to $39 million and about 42.4 billion won in our money.
This is the highest amount ever among hitters who entered the big leagues through the posting process.
There was also an offer to guarantee a six-year contract, but Ha-Sung Kim chose the condition of becoming a free agent again four years later.
It is a decision that shows confidence in success.
The minor league veto is applied from the third year.
First of all, Ha-seong Kim is likely to start as an all-weather agent in the field.
San Diego has top-notch infielders in the big leagues, including third baseman Machado and shortstop Tatis Jr..
However, given an average guaranteed annual salary of $7 million, there is a possibility that he will settle as second baseman.

“(Kim Ha-seong) is a player that several teams were trying to sign. It was shortstop, but I think San Diego will use it as second base. That means turning the existing second baseman Cronenworth to left field.”
Ha-sung Kim will return to Korea soon and continue his personal training, and he will also reveal his impressions of entering the major leagues in the future.
