- KBO Free Agency Primer (via Jee-ho Yoo at Yonhap)
To be eligible for free agency in the KBO, position players who
graduated from four-year universities must have played in at least
two-thirds of the team's regular-season games for eight seasons. The
term is nine seasons for high-school graduates.
In order for
pitchers to become free agents, those who join the league out of
four-year colleges must throw at least two-thirds of the minimum number
of innings required over eight seasons. The minimum number of innings
equals the number of games in a season, 133.
If a team signs
a free agent, then it must meet one of the two requirements: pay two
times the player's previous salary and ship a player in compensation to
the signee's previous team, or pay that team three times the signee's
previous salary.
