Multi-year contracts are becoming a trend in the KBO League.

In December 2021, SSG surprised the baseball world by signing Seung-won Moon and Jong-won Park the first multi-year contracts for non-FA (free agents).

And since then, news of multi-year contracts has been coming in almost every year. This off-season, KT Go Young-pyo signed a five-year contract worth a total of 10.7 billion won with the club.

The club prevents exposure of power, and players gain a sense of stability that allows them to continue playing by guaranteeing their baseball lives.

On the other hand, multi-year contracts are also quite risky. This is because there is no guarantee that the contracted player will continue to perform.

In fact, SSG's Seung-won Moon and Jong-hoon Park failed to produce results that lived up to expectations. NC left-hander Koo Chang-mo, who signed a 6+1 year contract worth 13.2 billion won, also enlisted in the military after undergoing surgery last year. Most people raised concerns about his poor performance in the first year of his multi-year contract. On the other hand, there are players like Lotte Park Se-woong who have lived up to expectations from the first year of his contract.

There are also players who have experienced both failure and success in two seasons. Samsung outfielder Koo Ja-wook signed the largest multi-year contract among fielders.

Koo Ja-wook accepted Samsung's offer of 12 billion won over five years in February 2022 and laid the foundation for him to play as a Samsung franchise star instead of going to the market as a free agent.
