Rejuvenated after receiving 500 million won' Genius shortstop extended his active career, but was shocked by no salary contract.

Rejuvenated after receiving 500 million won' Genius shortstop extended his active career, but was shocked by no salary contract.

Kim Jae-ho (39, Doosan), who made a comeback last year and was called an icon of rejuvenation, is unable to narrow down his differences with the club in salary negotiations for the 2024 season. How much does Kim Jae-ho, now 39 years old, want as compensation for achieving his dream of extending his active career? 

On the 2nd, the Doosan Bears announced the news of the Futures League players' departure for Japan's Miyakojima spring camp on the 5th, saying, "Infielder Kim Jae-ho is an uncontracted player with an unpaid salary and plans to continue negotiations further." Kim Jae-ho, who succeeded in extending his active duty, was unable to be included in the spring training list due to difficulties in salary negotiations. 

Doosan classified Kim Jae-ho, who recovered from his slump, as eligible for a contract renewal for the 2024 season, and conducted salary negotiations. Manager Lee Seung-yeop also included Kim Jae-ho in the shortstop plan for the new season, saying, “Since Kim Jae-ho is a veteran, we decided to have him join the second-team camp with the intention of slowly increasing his pace. In fact, rather than a second-team camp, the purpose is to gradually raise the pace with young players. “We are fully aware of Kim Jae-ho’s abilities,” he said. 

However, Doosan and Kim Jae-ho were unable to narrow down their differences until the 2nd, which was the Maginot Line of joining the 2nd team camp. Doosan, which completed salary negotiations with all those eligible for contract renewal except for Kim Jae-ho, was unable to announce the new season's salary contract because of Kim Jae-ho. However, when negotiations failed until the 2nd, they officially announced the fact that Kim Jae-ho's salary was not contracted. As a result, Kim Jae-ho became an uncontracted player, unable to join either the 1st or 2nd team camps. 

Jae-ho Kim signed his second free agent contract with Doosan for 3 years and 2.5 billion won in January 2021. His performance in his first two years was below expectations. Following his batting average of .209 in 89 games in the first year of his contract renewal, he performed poorly in 2022 with a batting average of .201 and 5.0 in 102 games and suffered from the controversy over 'scam'. For two years, more than half of his contract period, he suffered a slump with a batting average of .201 and 200, damaging the pride of a genius shortstop. 

Jae-ho Kim prepared harder than anyone else for the 2023 season, which could possibly be the last of his career. The start was the Australian spring camp. He stood in the first line during warm-up and shouted “fighting,” and even during defensive training, he did not spare his body, just like young genius shortstops did in the past. It was Kim Jae-ho, who shed a lot of sweat to turn the boos of the past two years into applause.
