As expected, Choi Ji-man could not agree on the 2023 salary with the Pittsburgh Pirates and went to the salary adjustment hearing.

According to John Heyman of the New York Post, the difference between Choi Ji-man and Pittsburgh was 750,000 dollars (900 million won). Choi Ji-man asked for 5.4 million dollars, and Pittsburgh offered 4.65 million dollars. It is the price of a house. Prior to this, MLBTR, a media specializing in transfers, estimated it at 4.5 million dollars. Pittsburgh offered a higher salary of $150,000. It was a show of sincerity.

However, Choi Ji-man asked for an increase of $2.2 million from last season’s $3.2 million.

Both sides can reach an amicable agreement through renegotiations before the hearing.

However, Pittsburgh is well known for being a team that, once they have exchanged money, goes all the way to a hearing without renegotiation. ‘do’ or ‘mo’ expression.

Choi Ji-man has nothing to lose either. Even if he loses, he will receive a 1.8 billion won increase in salary from last season. If he wins, his salary will increase by 2.7 billion won. 메이저사이트

In 2021, when Choi Ji-man belonged to the Tampa Bay Race, he won after going to a salary adjustment hearing.

At the time, Choi Ji-man asked for $2.45 million, and Tampa Bay offered $1.85 million. It was a difference of $600,000.

Attention is focusing on whether Choi Ji-man will win again this time.

Meanwhile, Choi Ji-man will become a free agent after this season.
