Three players, who had mixed ties through two trades, succeeded in signing FA contracts and multi-year contracts for similar amounts, drawing attention. Through the trade, they received more opportunities from new teams and established themselves, and their teams gave them huge contracts in return for their performance.

The main characters are Ryu Ji-hyuk, an infielder of the Samsung Lions, Kim Tae-gun, a catcher of the KIA Tigers, and Hong Gun-hee, a pitcher of the Doosan Bears. In 2020, Ryu Ji-hyuk and Hong Gun-hee moved to each other in a one-on-one trade, and in 2023, Ryu Ji-hyuk and Kim Tae-gun were one-on-one trade partners.

# June 7, 2020 = Doosan and KIA made a one-on-one trade. Doosan infielder Ryu Ji-hyuk left for KIA, and KIA pitcher Hong Gun-hee moved to Doosan. At that time, Doosan had a poor bullpen ERA in ninth place, and the mound was shaken due to injuries to the starters. Doosan brought in Hong Gun-hee to reinforce the bullpen with a trade card from infield utility Ryu Ji-hyuk. KIA got an all-weather infielder with both pitches, numbers, and pitches.

# July 5, 2023 = Samsung and KIA exchanged catchers and infielders in a one-on-one trade. Samsung, which had a lot of catcher resources, sent catcher Kim Tae-gun to KIA, and KIA sent Ryu Ji-hyuk, who it brought in as a trade three years ago, to Samsung. KIA missed FA catcher Park Dong-won before the 2023 season, and the catcher's depth was weak. Samsung's weak positions were second and third bases. Ryu Ji-hyuk, who can play all infield positions, reinforced the infield depth.

# KIA → Doosan → Must-win group…FA contract of up to 2.45 billion won for 2+2 years

Hong, who joined Kia in the ninth place in the second round of the 2011 draft, had a mediocre record of 166 games (33 starts) with nine wins, 20 losses and five saves and five holds with an earned run average of 6.30. He has changed dramatically since the trade. He had an earned run average of 6.00 in seven games (12 innings) with Kia before the trade in 2020.

After moving to Doosan, however, he pitched well in 50 games (56 ⅔ innings) as a bullpen, with three wins, four losses, one save, eight holds, and an earned run average of 4.76. His trade with Jamsil Baseball Stadium has become a turning point. He stood tall in the bullpen session.

In 2021, he became a core resource of the mound and became a top-rated bullpen pitcher with six wins, six losses and three saves with 17 holds and an ERA of 2.78, in 65 games (74 ⅓ innings). In 2022, due to Kim Kang-ryul's injury, he even took charge of finishing the game. In 58 games (62 innings), he recorded two wins, nine losses with 18 saves and nine holds and an ERA of 3.48, moving back and forth with the setup man. In 2023, he finished the game full-time (61 ⅔ innings), recording one win, five losses and 22 saves with five holds with an ERA of 3.06.

At the end of the 2023 season, Hong Gun-hee became a FA, and signed a FA contract with Doosan in January this year for a maximum of 2.45 billion won for 2+2 years. The detailed contract terms are 300 million won in down payment, 2.1 billion won in annual salary, and 50 million won in incentives. The total amount of the first two-year contract is 950 million won. After the two-year contract is over, it is a two-year, two-year contract with a player option of 1.5 billion won.

This year, Hong recorded four wins, three losses and nine saves with an ERA of 2.73 with 11 holdsouts in 65 games (59 ⅓ innings). He finished the game early in the season, but passed the game to rookie Kim Taek-yeon in the middle of the season.

# LG → NC → Samsung → KIA → Winning catcher…a three-year, two-and-a-half-billion-year contract

Kim, who joined LG as the 17th overall pick in the third round of the second and third rounds of the 2008 draft, moved to NC under a special designation when NC, a new team, joined the team in 2013. As NC was not included in the 20 protected players, it became a catcher's resource. 카지노사이트

He became the main catcher at NC, and in 2015, he played in all 144 games as a catcher with a batting average of 254 (107 hits in 421 at-bats) with six home runs, 52 RBIs, 45 runs and an OPS.661.

He returned from military service in the second half of the 2019 season, and after the season, he became an FA, but the timing was not good. There was no competition to recruit the catcher FA, and Kim Tae-gun eventually signed a four-year FA contract with NC in January 2020 for up to 1.3 billion won. At that time, he played as a backup because he had the main catcher Yang Eui-ji.
