Kim Hye-sung, who is seeking to advance to the Major League through the posting process, is said to be struggling at the last minute. He left the country at the end of November last year and watched the posting announcement on December 5 (Korean time) before proceeding with initial negotiations He returned to Korea on the 23rd of last month.
Kim Hye-sung's posting negotiations, which have not been informed of the contract for more than 10 days, are due at 7 a.m. on the 4th. There are only a few hours left. If he fails to sign a contract, he has to play in the KBO League this year.
At the moment, it is difficult to guarantee any outcome. However, local media are reporting that it is time for Kim Hye-sung to make a decision with less than a day left in the negotiation period.
MLBTR said on the 3rd that Kim Ha-sung, the top 50 FA ranking we ranked at the opening of the offseason, ranked 26th and received a three-year evaluation of $24 million. It should be noted that it is difficult to predict the ransom of the international FA, given that Lee Jung-hoo, a national with Kim Hye-sung, signed a contract worth more than $100 million with the San Francisco Giants last winter and exceeded everyone's expectations at the time of posting.
In other words, if Kim Hye-sung succeeds in signing a contract with a major league club, the scale may be unexpected.

However, MLBTR has had few specific rumors so far regarding Kim Hye-sung's FA. With very little is known about FA Kim Hye-sung, it is difficult to predict which teams are interested in him and whether he can consider returning to Kiwoom because he is not told the conditions to be satisfied.
In other words, negative atmospheres are also read.
At the same time, the media evaluated that `Kim Ha-sung is the main position but has a lot of shortstop experience, and if necessary, he can see the third base as a huge defender.' adding that there are six clubs that can need Kim Hye-sung, including the Seattle Mariners, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Angels, Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, and Milwaukee Brewers.'
Prices are determined by the law of supply and demand. The same goes for the player market. As MLBTR reported, if more than five teams have put in a specific offer, it means that Kim Hye-sung is now immersed in the last 'Choosing the Jadeok'.

Since Kim Hye-sung's posting was announced early last month, local experts have considered Kim Hye-sung's chances of success in the big league to be low. Compared to the San Diego Padres' Kim Ha-sung (FA), which is a 'precedent', Kim Hye-sung, who has excellent skills in defense and contact heating, was recommended to a team with a poor central position.
On the 2nd, MLB.com evaluated Kim Ha-sung, Harrison Bader, and Kim Hye-sung in an article titled 「Checking the FA market for the New Year」.
Regarding Kim Hye-sung, the media said, "'Kim Hye-sung dreams of moving to the big league this winter after playing eight seasons with the KBO Kiwoom Heroes.'" The 25-year-old, a high-level contact heater, hit .326 with 30 steals last season and received three golden gloves in his career. He said he was a second baseman twice and a shortstop once. It can also be said that it is an evaluation that focuses on the ability to hit the ball and defense.
