Chosun Sports Correspondent Han Dong-hoon] The price of shortstops in the Stove League this year is crazy. Three shortstops broke a record $640 million.

MLB Network reporter John Heyman announced on SNS on the 30th (hereinafter Korea time) that "Javier Baez (29) signed a $140 million six-year contract with the Detroit Tigers."

Baez was named the BIG5 elite shortstop this winter along with Corey Seger, Carlos Correa, Marcus Simien and Trevor Story.

Previously, Seager and Simien were both taken by the Texas Rangers. Texas first signed a contract with Simien on the 29th for 7 years and $175 million (approximately 208 billion won). On the morning of the 30th, a $325 million (approximately 385 billion won) 10-year megaton contract was signed with Seager. Texas seems to be using Simien as second base.

Baez's ransom also exceeded $100 million. If this trend continues, it is likely that Corea will break through at least $300 million and Story will exceed $100 million.

Regarding this, ESPN reporter Mike Petriello said, “I was a little surprised that Seager broke the 300 million dollar mark. It was surprising that Simien received a 7 year contract.” He stuck his tongue out.

Baez was selected by the Chicago Cubs with a ninth overall pick in the first round of the 2011 Draft. After playing as a one-club man for the Cubs, he was sold to the New York Mets this year. Baez made his big league debut in 2014. In his career, he hit 149 home runs with a batting average of 0.264 at base and a slugging percentage of 0.477 in 862 games. This year, he hit 31 home runs with a batting average of 0.265 and an on-base percentage of 0.319 and a slugging average of 0.494 in 138 games.
