2+1 year up to 2 billion contracts with Lee Won-seok
The Samsung Lions have finished planning for the next season.
On the 29th, Samsung announced that it had signed a contract with Lee Won-seok, who acquired the second FA qualification.
The contract period is 2+1 years, down payment and annual salary are 300 million won respectively, and incentives total 800 million won, up to 2 billion won.
If the performance criteria agreed by the player and the club are met during the first two years, the contract is automatically extended for the remaining one year.
At the time of the first free agency contract in 2016, Lee Won-suk previously moved the team from Doosan to Samsung on the condition of a down payment of 1.5 billion won and an annual salary of 2.7 billion won for four years.
During the free agency period, he played in a total of 481 games, hitting a batting average of 27%, 70 homers, 305 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.793.
During this period, home runs and RBIs ranked third among all Samsung hitters.
With Lee Won-seok remaining, Samsung has a structure of other ships next year.
Earlier, he recruited Doosan’s Jae-il Oh as a free agent, and succeeded in recruiting Geopo, who was thirsty at the same time as finding the owner of first base, which was his weakness.
Another weak position, Corner Outfield, has finished reinforcing external power by recruiting foreign batter Jose Pirella.
While holding on to the internal power of Lee Won-seok, Samsung has resolved to some extent the task of reinforcing hits at Stove League this year.
Kim Sang-soo and Park Hae-min are in charge of the table setter, and the central batting line, which runs from Jawook Koo, Jaeil Oh, Dongyeop Kim, and Pirella, is considered the most anticipated combination in recent years.
In addition, if Lee Won-seok, who has oriental medicine skills, plays an active role as a solver with the link between the upper and lower batting orders, the destructive power will inevitably increase.
Catcher Kang Min-ho, who has a heavy defensive burden, is expected to have a synergy effect as it is possible to have herpes and physical strength in the lower line.
The last one, shortstop, is expected to be the owner of Lee Hak-joo’s skill recovery and how much Kim Ji-chan grows.
Lee Won-seok said, “I am very grateful to the club for the good treatment and I am very happy to be able to continue playing at Samsung.” .
