The professional baseball and FA markets, which opened the era of 10 million spectators this season, were also hotter than ever.

Each team's gains and losses are mixed as players who have been considered FA's big fish find new homes.

The FA market this season, which started with Choi Jung, the biggest fish, staying at SSG for four years and 11 billion won.

Hanwha is the most active player.

Pitcher Um Sang-baek and infielder Shim Woo-joon, who belonged to KT, were signed for up to 7.8 billion won and 5 billion won for four years, respectively.Hanwha, which has foreign pitchers Weiss, Ryu Hyun-jin in Ponce, and Moon Dong-ju in

One-Two Punch', even recruited Um Sang-baek, and Hanwha has a starting team that is second to none.

Samsung, the runner-up in the Korean Series, also raised expectations for next season by recruiting FA Big Fish and Choi Won-tae for up to 7 billion won for four years.

Samsung, which has built a solid four-member starting lineup that leads to Reyes, Furado, Won Tae-in and Choi Won-tae, even retained Kim Hun-gon and Ryu Ji-hyuk, who performed like an altoran in baseball last fall.

It is evaluated that LG also made a profitable business in the FA market.

He held Jang Hyun-sik, the biggest fish in the bullpen that several clubs coveted, for four years and 5.2 billion won, and succeeded in bringing in Kim Kang-ryul, who was Doosan's "one-club man," solidly reinforced his weak "waist."

[Jang Hyunsik / LG Pitcher: He actively recognized my value from the beginning, so I chose to transfer. I'm so happy.]Although they missed two FA in the

team, KT, which brought Heo Kyung-min and Jang Jin-hyuk, rather reinforced its defense and batting line, and Lotte also succeeded in cracking down on internal FA such as Kim Won-joong and Koo Seung-min to prevent bleeding.

On the other hand, Doosan sends franchise stars Heo Kyung-min and Kim Kang-ryul away in turn, which is expected to inevitably cause power loss in the pitching.
