Re-signs for four years
Kim signed a four-year, $9.7 million contract to remain with the Bears on Friday, Jim Bulley of the Korea JoongAng Daily reports.
ANALYSIS
The contract is the third-largest in history for a KBO free agent. While it's a stretch to call Kim the third-best KBO player of all time or even the third-best in the league this past season, he was still a very capable contributor in his age-32 season in 2021, hitting .274/.382/.501 with 27 homers. He also tied for second in the league with 102 RBI, a stat in which he leads the league by a wide margin since he became a regular in 2016. He should continue to anchor the Bears' lineup for the next several seasons and should remain one of the best bats in the league for at least the early portion of his new deal.
