The Samsung Lions are ready to roar vigorously toward the Korean Series in the 2025 season.
On the 24th, the Samsung club completed salary contracts with 64 players subject to renewal. Young players who played the main role in pitching and hitting last year also achieved good results in salary contracts.
Won Tae-in, who won his first career multiple wins with a 15-6 record and a 3.66 ERA, will receive an annual salary of 630 million won this year. It is an increase of 200 million won (47%) from the previous annual salary of 430 million won. It's the highest increase in the team. "Except for multi-year contracts and FA, I will be responsible and show good performance this year as I receive the highest salary in the team," Won said.
Infielder Kim Young-woong, who made the hearts of Lions fans beat last year, recorded the highest increase rate in the team. It signed at 150 million won, up 295 percent from 38 million won. Kim Young-woong, who had only three home runs in the first two seasons after joining the team, announced the birth of a hero by shooting 28 home runs last year. Kim Young-woong, who finished his salary contract, thanked the club. I feel good and satisfied because it seems to have motivated me to do better in the future."
