There is no change in signing a free agent contract. Noh Kyung-eun (40, SSG) did not let his guard down for up to three years. He has no intention of continuing his career. He will also sprint in 2025.
Noh Kyung-eun completed a two-plus-year FA contract with her original team SSG on the 22nd for a total of 2.5 billion won (down payment of 300 million won, annual salary of 1.3 billion won, option 900 million won). Noh Kyung-eun spoke to Sports Kyunghyang on the phone a day later on the 23rd and said, "I feel comfortable thinking that I will play baseball for the next three years, including overtime," adding, "I have more responsibility and more motivation." He added, "I have no intention of saving myself at all," and added, "I just think I should perform the same this year next year."
Noh has been one of the league's top bullpen pitchers this year, posting eight wins, five losses and 38 holds with an earned run average of 2.90 in 77 games (83.2 innings). While using the batter-friendly Incheon SSG Landers Field as his home ground, he posted an earned run average of two points. He became the first player to hold 30 holds for the second consecutive year in pro baseball, and even the title of "King of Holds." The more surprising indicator is innings. Noh pitched 79.2 innings in 2022, 83 innings in 2023, and 83.2 innings in 2024.
SSG tried to catch Noh Kyung-eun, who was released as an FA after the end of the 2024 season, and Noh Kyung-eun was also determined to remain. The two sides, who negotiated even before the FA market opened, reached an agreement relatively early in a big framework such as the contract period and total amount. However, even after the opening of the FA on the 6th, no news of the contract was reported for a while. It took some time during the negotiation process regarding options, but both the club and the players were looking at the same place. Noh Kyung-eun said, "I spent time separately with the general manager (Kim Jae-hyun) during the negotiation period. At that time, he asked, 'Are you not going anywhere else?' and said, 'Don't worry. I don't have to go anywhere else,' and explained, "The verbal agreement was over."
There was also a fact that was misunderstood during the negotiation process. Noh Kyung-eun, who worked out at a baseball stadium even after the season ended, got another gym when her FA contract was delayed. Some fans, who were not aware of the fact, said, "I only work out at the ballpark, not signing autographs."
Noh Kyung-eun said, "I went to the baseball stadium in two weeks to sign a contract. I didn't go out because I didn't know what to do. I hope you can clear up the misunderstanding," adding, "Now I can exercise at the baseball stadium in peace. The sauna is mine until the contract is over." 토토사이트
Noh Kyung-eun, who signed his second free agent contract at an unexpected age, said, "I don't think this is the last time for me. His goal is to play baseball until the age of 45. I told him not to worry because he will not lie down after signing his signature," Noh said. "I don't think he is almost there. I have to do it for two more years in three years."
