Among the five undocumented players in the 2024-2025 FA market, right-handed and left-handed infielder Ha Joo-seok (30) attracts the most attention. After graduating from Shinil High School, he joined the Hanwha Eagles as the first priority in the first round in 2012. He has been playing shortstop for a long time.

He has a batting average of 0.265 with 49 homers, 339 RBIs and an OPS of 0.690, but his batting average is not that sharp. He had a batting average of 0.292 with one homer, 11 RBIs and 16 runs in 62 games this season as well. After moving down from his position as the main shortstop, he also played as a third baseman, which illustrates his stable defense capability. Rather, he has 106 errors in his career.

As soon as the FA market opened, Hanwha recruited FA shortstop Shim Woo-joon for 4 years and 5 billion won. The prevailing interpretation is that this is actually an indication that Hanwha has no intention of catching Ha Joo-seok. Since then, rumors have begun to circulate in the industry that Hanwha can organize Ha Joo-seok as a sign and trade.메이저놀이터

Hanwha quickly signed contracts with Um Sang-baek and Shim Woo-joon as soon as the FA market opened, and took off early on. Since they achieved exactly what they wanted, they neatly "hit and fell out." Ha is also likely to have been aware of this trend in the club when applying for the FA.

Cha Woo-chan, who retired, talked about the non-FA contractors through his YouTube channel Chit Chit Chit on the 5th. Cha Woo-chan, who signed an FA contract, inferred the feelings of the FA in his own way. Regarding Ha Joo-seok, he interpreted that he applied for an FA with some knowledge of this atmosphere.

Cha Woo-chan said, "Joo-chan is talented and one of the players that Hanwha really tried to raise. He has shown some things. However, there have been various issues recently, and there have been clearly issues such as attitude issues at the baseball stadium. The worst part was his poor performance anyway. Nevertheless, the fact that he applied for free agency seems to indicate that he wants to join the team."

As Cha Woo-chan pointed out, Ha Joo-seok was heavily criticized for the case of driving under the influence of alcohol in the past, and was disciplined. He returned afterwards, but failed to restore his former reputation. From Cha Woo-chan's point of view, Ha Joo-seok seemed to want to start anew from another team because he had qualified as an FA.

Cha Woo-chan said, "Hanwha is a good team, but should I say it's an opportunity for her? Maybe she wants to make something like that? Because she caused trouble to this team, and of course, she was upset and bad, but she had the right to go anyway. If you think normally, you should give a one-year grace period. The grades and the issues so far. I applied knowing that it was the worst situation. I think she is going to another team unconditionally to try to make a comeback or change the atmosphere."

Cha Woo-chan's interpretation is somewhat understandable. However, there is no team in the market that wants Ha Joo-seok. Some teams that seem to need to recruit shortstop also seem to be distancing themselves from Ha Joo-seok, shouting for self-nurture. There is a possibility that signatures and trades will suddenly take place. However, with the departure of the spring camp just two weeks away, the atmosphere seems unusual. There is a possibility that it will be an ultra-long battle. Anyway, it seems difficult to return to Hanwha.
