Kim Ha-seong announced the terms of the contract with San Diego today (1st).
Ha-Sung Kim is guaranteed $28 million and 30.4 billion won for four years first, and if you add bonuses related to the number of at bats, you will receive a maximum of $32 million and 34.8 billion won.
If you run the four-year extension and then implement the 1-year extension option, the total amount will reach $39 million or 42.4 billion won.
It is the highest amount ever among the beasts from the KBO League, and if all five-year contracts are completed, it is more than the six-year total amount of $36 million when Ryu Hyun-jin joined the Los Angeles Dodgers at the end of 2012.
The San Diego club welcomed Kim Ha-sung's joining through the official SNS, and Kim Ha-sung said, "I feel good to announce the news of the contract from the first day of the new year." I did.
