Hanwha's extraordinary investment of 5 billion won...Shim Woo-joon is here. What happens to Ha Joo-seok who applied for FA

From President Ha's point of view, unwelcome news flew in. This is because Hanwha embraced Shim Woo-joon, the FA shortstop, by striking a batting.
Hanwha officially announced on the 7th that it signed a contract with FA Shim Woo-joon for a total of 5 billion won for four years. He has very fast feet, strong shoulders, and a wide range of defense. However, it is shocking to give a large amount of 5 billion won to a player with a career batting average of more than 250. It should be said that Hanwha's situation was urgent.
But Shim Woo-jun's stray bullet fell on Ha Joo-seok. Ha is a franchise star shortstop who only played in Hanwha. Ha also became a free agent for the first time after this season. In fact, there was a prospect that he would not apply for the FA due to sluggishness in recent years and some things, but Ha exercised his precious rights.
But did Hanwha expect to spend such a large amount of money on Shim Woo-jun. In this way, Hanwha does not have to make duplicate investments in the same position. Furthermore, Hwang Young-mook and Lee Do-yoon have developed many potential resources this season. Even in the absence of Shim Woo-jun, Hwang Young-mook did not have an advantage in the competition with Lee Do-yoon.

The best scenario for Ha is for a team without a shortstop to reach out to him. The worst is to be an FA Mia. Still, there is a high possibility that Hanwha will embrace him because he has a career in Hanwha. Just because Shim Woo-joon is here, it is not an easy decision to give up experienced infield resources. However, the problem is that Ha Joo-seok can lose money in ransom.
