Will I be able to do it like this? Grade B Multi-Man Signs KRW 2.6 Billion...Where are the six of us going

FA infielder Ryu Ji-hyuk finally completed his contract. The original Samsung Lions announced on the 16th that they signed an FA contract with Ryu Ji-hyuk on the condition of up to 2.6 billion won for four years. The terms of the contract are 300 million won in down payment, 1.7 billion won in four-year annual salary, and 600 million won in incentives. The guaranteed amount is 2 billion won, and up to 600 million won will be given if the options are filled according to grades.
Ryu Ji-hyuk's contract size is pretty good based on the simple total amount. Immediately, Kim Hun-gon, a senior member of the same team, stayed at Samsung and signed a two-year total of 600 million won, which Samsung guaranteed Ryu Ji-hyuk four years and gave him a total of mid-2 billion won. Born in 1994, he is a multi-man who can defend all positions in the infield. In particular, he scored high for his affinity and leadership as a mid-age player in the squad.

Based on the FA rating system, a total of six people remain, including three B-grade Lim Ki-young, Ha Joo-seok, and Lee Yong-chan, and three C-grade Seo Geon-chang, Kim Sung-wook and Moon Sung-hyun.
Recently, A-grade FA Choi Won-tae, who was evaluated as a `big fish,' moved to Samsung, and LG named Choi Chae-heung as a compensation player. In addition, bullpen pitcher Kim Kang-ryul transferred from Doosan Bears to LG Twins on the condition of up to 1.4 billion won for 3+1 years, and Ryu Ji-hyuk is also confirmed to remain in Samsung, so the market, which had been stagnant since the early storm rush, seems to be moving again little by little.

Currently, most of the players remaining in the market do not have strong love calls from other teams. Negotiations with the original clubs are also lukewarm. KIA Tigers reportedly had two meetings with internal FA Lim Ki-young and Seo Geon-chang, but it is hard to say that there has been progress in detail.

Currently, clubs are taking a break from the front office work. Only key tasks such as FA negotiations and foreign player contracts are being handled. There is a possibility that discussions on non-FA contract players who have not made much progress will be over the years.
