"Of course, trade." I don't know Kim Ha-sung, but I'm sure he'll refuse 588.9 billion won, San Diego diet is in full swing
The 2023-2024 offseason of the San Diego Padres is expected to be different from the offseason of the past few years. The pay-cut stance is firm. It is determined to lower Payroll of about $250 million this year to about $200 million next year for stable long-term financial management. It also means that it will not exceed $237 million in luxury tax in 2024.
A preliminary FA Juan Soto trade is essential to lose the fat of the squad. A slugger who turned down the Washington Nationals' 15-year $440 million (about 588.9 billion won) and joined the team through a trade. In the final season of annual salary arbitration, MLB Trade Rumours is predicting that it will rise to about $33 million.
This year's annual salary of $23 million is burdensome, but raising $10 million in next year's salary is unacceptable to San Diego. A contract to extend at least $400 million in this stance is ridiculous. Moreover, Soto's agent is Scott Boras, the "demon of the clubs." For San Diego, in many ways, "cleaning up relationships" is the answer.
Soto eventually did his part this season. It is best to get a counter benefit through trade when the value is high. The reality is that Kim Ha-sung, whose ransom is far lower than that of Soto, is also mentioned as a possible trade. At this point, Kim Ha-sung is literally considering the possibility, and Soto should be seen as a given.
The Athletic classified the grades on the 12th (Korea time) in anticipation of San Diego's 2024 season roster. Soto, along with Choi Ji-man and others, was grouped into FA without any classification. In other words, he has one year left to qualify for the FA, but he is the same as a player who will leave for the FA.
The Athletic said: "Without a record extension offer, agent Scott Boras will not give up the opportunity to take one of his most talented clients to the FA market. Therefore, if San Diego intends to cut its salary, Soto is a natural trade candidate. 온라인경마
Of course, Soto's void will certainly appear. However, there is a way to reinforce power while minimizing the cost burden, such as FA Lee Jung-hoo (Kium Heroes). You just need to get the counter benefit through the Soto trade right away. Even if Soto did well, San Diego could not even make it to the postseason this year.
The Athletic said, "The potential revenue will not be as much as San Diego's concession when it recruited Soto in 2022. In doing so, efforts to build a balanced roster can be complicated. There may be a compelling argument that he should be kept in the contract period. It's an important winter for San Diego and their best hitters."
