The departure date of the spring camp is as early as January 23rd, so it is only 20 days away. The FA has no choice but to feel urgent now.
On November 6 last year, a total of 20 people came to the FA market with dreams of a big hit.
Choi Jung stayed with SSG Landers for a total of 11 billion won for four years, the highest amount, and Um Sang-baek moved to Hanwha Eagles for a total of 7.8 billion won for four years. Choi Won-tae also moved from the LG Twins to the Samsung Lions for 4 years and 7 billion won, and Jang Hyun-sik, who tasted the joy of winning the KIA Tigers, left for the LG Twins with a four-year, 5.2 billion won full guarantee.
He gradually found his team and signed a contract, but Lim Ki-young signed a three-year contract with KIA on December 21 last year for a total of 1.5 billion won.
There are currently five remaining FA. Two players, pitcher Lee Yong-chan (36) and infielder Ha Joo-seok (31), are Grade B, which requires compensation in addition to 25 protected players, while three others, including infielder Seo Geon-chang (36), pitcher Moon Sung-hyun (34), and outfielder Kim Sung-wook (32), only need to pay compensation without compensation players. All of them have played key roles in the team, so there will be teams needed depending on their positions, but there is still no news.
Lee Yong-chan, who moved from Doosan to NC in his first FA, recorded a 6.13 ERA with 3 wins, 9 losses, 16 saves and 2 holds in 57 games this season. The bad points in the second half seem to have an adverse effect on the contract. He was good with a 2.82 ERA with 3 wins, 6 losses and 16 saves until July, but after August, he lost three games without saves and showed a severe slump in ERA of 21.41.

Seo Geon-chang is a four-time FA student. Since his first FA qualification after the 2021 season, his performance has not been good, so he did not continue to apply, but revived at his hometown team, KIA, and even tasted the joy of winning, and confidently applied. Although he is not the main player, he hit a batting average of 310 (63 hits in 203 at-bats) with 26 RBIs in 94 games as the first and second basemen. There is a difference in how to catch it in KIA.
Moon Sung-hyun had consistently played as a starter and bullpen for the Heroes. He pitched in 42 games this season, recording one win, two losses, three saves and two holds with an ERA of 6.57. Kim Sung-wook is a right-handed outfielder with long hitting power and has a batting average of 204 (73 hits in 358 at-bats) and 17 home runs and 60 RBIs in 129 games this year. Kim Sung-wook hit a batting average of .240 (73 hits in 358 at-bats) in 129 games, but he has a long shot that hit 17 home runs.
It has already been 60 days since the FA market opened. We have started preparing for the 2025 season, but the time is approaching for the five FA to worry about the uncontracted contract.
