[엑스포츠뉴스 김현세 기자] Doosan Bears announced on the 8th that it had signed a three-year contract with Kim Jae-ho for a total of 2.5 billion won. Kim Jae-ho, who was called a’genius shortstop’ since the days of Joongang High School, can now be called ’20 Years Bears Man’ from the moment of his first appointment in 2004.
Kim Jae-ho previously signed a four-year contract with Doosan for a total amount of 5 billion won. A second free agent was also signed with Doosan, and after several coordinations, a contract agreement was reached. Kim Jae-ho agreed to a down payment of 900 million won without options and a total annual salary of 1.6 billion won. It is a condition to receive an annual salary of 600 million won in 2021, and 500 million won over the next two years.
After the contract, Kim Jae-ho said, “I am happy to have the second free agency contract with Doosan. As a senior, I will lead my juniors well, and I will do my best to run with the heart of a rookie until the day I take off my uniform.
The contract was guaranteed until we were 40, and there were no options. The team’s Ye-woo and the player’s concession made this result. In addition, Kim Jae-ho has also proven its worth with his skills. He has steadily jumped every year as a shortstop after making a full-fledged leap forward in 2014, and has helped Doosan advance to the Korean Series for six consecutive years and win three times.
It is very likely that your career as a player will actually end up with Doosan. In the meantime, Kim Jae-ho has been centered around the team as a veteran, even though the team’s power has been deviated. He is expected to be able to serve as a textbook for low-year players starting next season and contribute to creating a team atmosphere as a practical leader.
