Toronto Blue Jays Ryu Hyun-jin’s teammate, shortstop Bo Bisset (25), avoided salary arbitration with a three-year multi-year contract before becoming a free agent.
Toronto announced a three-year contract with Bissett on the 10th (Korean time). The terms of the contract are 3 years and 33.6 million dollars, which is about 42.4 billion won in Korean money. Bisset, who gets FA qualification after the 2025 season, will not go through the annual salary adjustment process for three years, including this year.
Bisset, who was eligible to apply for salary adjustment for the first time this year, was the only Toronto player to fail to reach an agreement. While the Toronto club offered $5 million, Bisset asked for $7.5 million, showing a difference of $2.5 million.
A salary adjustment hearing was scheduled this week, but an agreement was reached with a three-year, multi-year contract. Although it is not a large-scale extension contract, I was treated quite well as a player eligible for salary arbitration as a former free agent.
American ‘The Athletic’ reporter Ken Rosenthal is Rafael Devers (Boston), Josh Donaldson (New York Yankees), Manny Machado (San Diego메이저놀이터), Trevor Story (Boston), Xander Bogatz (San Diego), Carlos Correa (Minnesota), Trey It was explained that Bissett was treated better than the total annual salary that top-class infielders such as Turner (Philadelphia) received during the three-year salary adjustment period.
Bo Bisset, who is also the son of four-time Major League All-Star outfielder Dante Bisset, made his big league debut in Toronto in 2019. Until last year, he played a total of 393 games in four seasons, recording a batting average of .29, 7 runs, 478 hits, 69 home runs, 239 RBIs, and 46 stolen bases, an OPS of .831.
He played in 159 games in 2021 with a batting average of . 828 with an OPS of . Last year, in 159 games, he recorded a batting average of .29, 189 hits, 24 home runs, 93 RBIs, and 13 steals, and an OPS of .802, the most hits in the American League for two consecutive years.
His unstable defense with 24 and 23 errors, respectively, in the last two years is pointed out as a weakness. However, his batting and running skills are excellent, and he is still only 25 years old, so he has a good chance of developing as a young player. If there is no additional contract extension, Bisset will come to the free agency market in 2025 at the age of 27.
