Can we get more than 3 billion won.

Kim Hye-sung, who has been raising her dearly for eight years, is on the verge of entering the U.S. However, the amount of compensation for posting may not be enough. That's the way things are going.

Kim Hye-sung, who wants to advance to the U.S. Major League, is aiming for the last 'Buzzer Beater Contract'. Kim Hye-sung's posting was announced to 30 Major League teams on the 5th of last month (Korea time). A month's negotiation period was given. The deadline is 7 a.m. on the 4th. But I haven't heard from him.




Of course, it is said that it is not a very grim situation. It is known that there are teams that have offered recruitment, but only time is passing due to the negotiation strategy. Kim Hye-sung's side has to think hard until the end and choose the most satisfactory option among the given options.

However, if this situation is analyzed coldly, the expected 'super jackpot' contract will be difficult. When Kim Hye-sung's agent, CAA Sports, welcomed Kim Hye-sung as a family member for the first time, it expected that he would be treated better than major league senior Kim Ha-sung. Kim Ha-sung signed a 4+1 year, up to $39 million contract with the San Diego Padres in 2021. Kim Ha-sung ended his four-year, $28 million guarantee contract this year, collected $2 million in buyout costs and came to the FA market. CAA Sports also expected Kim Hye-sung to sign a four-year, $50 million contract.

Of course, it is correct that the amount is the result of viewing only 'Jangmeetlight'. Still, at the time of filing for the posting, local media in the U.S. expected Kim Hye-sung to win a contract worth an average of $8 million per year and a total of $24 million for three years. Specific team names such as the Seattle Mariners were also mentioned. But this was also a happy scenario.




If it was a contract over $20 million, it is highly likely that it would have been stamped without exceeding the year. In the end, Kim Hye-sung has no choice but to take time until the posting deadline, which means there are no conditions to be full of sex and it is difficult to choose the best in the meantime. It is also a strategy to keep in mind that a club can suddenly raise its bets to win Kim Hye-sung's heart ahead of the posting deadline.

The longer the contract period, the better. However, it is expected to be up to three years in terms of flow. And the total is expected to be around $10 million. Analysts say that it is difficult to exceed $15 million no matter how high it is. With the duration and amount of this contract, it may be difficult to include a minor veto. From Kim Hye-sung's point of view, he is expected to choose the final team based on conditions such as the place that gives minor veto power, the place where the competition for the starting second base is not rough, and the place where the living aspect is good.

Then, how much compensation will Kiwoom receive. Last year, Lee Jung-hoo signed a six-year, mega-contract worth $113 million with the San Francisco Giants, which was a catch. He received a whopping $18,825,000 in compensation alone. Based on the recent exchange rate, it is a large amount of about 27.7 billion won.




According to the Korea-U.S. player contract agreement, 20% of the total cost of $25 million or less is set as compensation. If Kim Hye-sung signs a $10 million contract, Kiwoom will receive $2 million in compensation. The amount is just under 3 billion won due to the recent surge in the exchange rate. If the total amount of contracts rises, the amount of compensation will also rise, which is likely to eventually reach around 3 billion won.
