The FA of tears after 4 steps, I understand my heart desperately, but how much do I want, so I can't stamp it
3rd game of the Korean Series between KIA and Samsung at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 25th, and KIA Seo Geon-chang, with one out and runners on the first and second bases, is regretful as he steps down due to a double play in the top of the second inning.

How much do you want...

Will the FA Seo Geon-chang and the KIA Tigers continue to accompany each other. It's an atmosphere that will eventually continue, but when will it be stamped.

5 players in danger of becoming 'FA Mia'. Seo Geon-chang, Ha Joo-seok, Lee Yong-chan, Kim Sung-wook, and Moon Sung-hyun. In the end, their contract is expected to be over the years.




Among them, the interest is Seo Geon-chang. Precious FA rights applied after many twists and turns. But the energy of 'Awesome' is fading away.

A star who won the MVP of the regular season with a new 201-hit record during his time as the Heroes. However, bad luck began as the injury began to decline. He gave up the FA opportunity on his own three times and chose '4 numbers'.

The team also moved twice for the desperate FA. Through the LG Twins, he came all the way to his hometown team KIA. '4 numbers' appeared to be successful. Although he was a backup, he played 94 games and played a solid game with a batting average of 310. What's important is that KIA won the unified championship. Seo Geon-chang was also named in the Korean Series entry and played a role as a big game veteran.




Individual performance is not huge, but it was worth expecting some treatment with a winning premium. The winning teams have often opened their wallets with joy. It's a reward for winning. Even after winning in 2017, KIA gave veteran Kim Joo-chan an unfortunate FA treatment of 2.7 billion won for 2+1 years.

However, Kia is so cautious that it is doubtful whether it is the unified winning team this winter. First of all, I watched Jang Hyun-sik, the winner, leave for the LG Twins for 5.2 billion won. It is true that he is a good player, but he clarified his will not overpay. He also boldly chose to say goodbye to Socrates, a foreign hitter. The cost-effectiveness of the ransom, which had to rise to nearly $1.5 million, was considered.

It took time for the pitcher Lim Ki-young, who became an FA together. It remained at 1.5 billion won for three years. Considering that he is an all-weather pitcher who can be used as both a starter and a bullpen, it was not that expensive.




KIA seems to be keeping a cool head instead of a straight head to Seo Geon-chang. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that Seo Geon-chang is a situation that KIA does not have to catch. Foreign batter Wisdom comes to the first base, and Byun Woo-hyuk and Hwang Dae-in are full of backups. Second base also has many young players. KIA's willingness to sign Seo Geon-chang is, in a way, safe to say that it has added a premium to the championship.

In Hangan, the amount of money Seo Geon-chang wanted was known, leading to a heated debate. It meant that I couldn't see the reality properly. Of course, it's only a rumor, but the reality is unknown. What is certain is that it is the first FA negotiation that has been dreamed of, but it is going in an atmosphere where it has to be stamped on the conditions presented to the club. I can fully understand my earnestness because I wore the medal FA so hard and so hard, but it is an example that makes me feel again that a professional is a cold place.

Seo Geon-chang went on a honeymoon after getting married. Now we have to sit at the cold negotiating table again.
