San Diego Padres Instagram
American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) San Diego Padres officially announced Kim Ha-seong (26) on the first day of the new year. On the official social network service (SNS) of the club, a Korean welcome greeting was posted along with a picture of Kim Ha-sung wearing the national team uniform, but there was also a cute mistake in the introduction of “Welcome” missing the last letter.
San Diego announced the signing of the official contract on social media on the 1st with a post saying “Welcome to San Diego, Ha-sun Kim”. According to Aspec Corporation, an agent of Kim Ha-Sung, Kim Ha-Sung entered the condition of receiving a maximum of 39 million dollars (about 4.43 billion won) in a contract period of 4+1. This is the highest amount ever posted by batters in KBO.
Ha-sung Kim first agreed to receive a guarantee of 28 million dollars (3.46 billion won) for four years, and if the incentives related to the number of at-bats are combined, he can receive a maximum of 32 million dollars (34.8 billion won). If the mutual option is executed after the four-year contract period ends, the total ransom value can be up to $39 million, which means that the company can run for a maximum of $7.8 million (8.48 billion won) from $7 million (7.61 billion won) per year. Kim Ha-sung’s team, Kiwoom Heroes, receives a transfer fee of 5,550,000 dollars (6 billion 10 million won).
