Instead of 133.2 billion won, Kim Ha-sung wrote, "9.3 billion won?"

Will Kim Ha-sung (29, San Diego Padres), who has been looking for a big hit in the free agent market after this season, be satisfied with $7 million?

Kim Ha-sung injured his right shoulder while returning to the first base against the Colorado Rockies on April 19. Since then, Kim Ha-sung has been listed as injured due to tendinitis in his right shoulder.

At the time of the injury, there were many opinions that he would be able to return early this month at the latest. However, Kim Ha-sung has not returned until now, as a month has passed.

As a result, chances are high that Kim Ha-sung will be out for the season. The San Diego Padres already have Xander Bogaerts in place of Kim Ha-sung. This is due to his aggressive power.

Kim Ha-sung is known to be having a hard time with a strong throw at the shortstop position. The inability to make a strong throw at shortstop is a fatal weakness.

This will serve as a negative factor for Kim Ha-sung, who is seeking to become an FA player after this season. Not many teams would want to give a big contract to an injured player at the end of the season.

Not only will Kim be able to become a free agent after this season, but he will also be able to execute mutual options with the San Diego Padres in the 2025 season. Around $7 million.

Nothing has been confirmed yet. However, if there is a high possibility that Kim Ha-sung will not be evaluated in the FA market this time, he may choose to stay in San Diego.

This means a one-year return to the FA. Kim Ha-sung, who was aiming for a total contract of 100 million dollars in the FA market, will be satisfied with 7 million dollars.

The advantage of staying in San Diego through mutual option execution is that he can fully recover from his injury and play full time in the 2025 season and aim for a big hit.

The downside is that it wastes a very important year for an FA-qualified player. Kim Ha-sung was born in 1995 and will turn 31 in 2026 season.

San Diego will want Kim Ha-sung to stay in San Diego for another year by executing mutual options. This is because the annual salary is only $7 million.

It is not yet known what choice Kim Ha-sung will make. This is more important for other clubs than San Diego or Kim Ha-sung. 메이저놀이터


Despite this injury, if there are attempts to recruit Kim Ha-sung from several teams, it is beneficial to make him compete in the FA market.
