Noh Si-hwan (26, Hanwha Eagles) has begun the process to pursue his dream of playing in the United States ahead of the start of an 11-year, 30.7 billion won mega-contract.

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) stated on the 31st that, at the request of the Hanwha Eagles organization, it has asked the Major League Baseball (MLB) office to post Noh Si-hwan to the 30th MLB teams.

Accordingly, the 30th MLB teams will be able to negotiate a contract with player Noh Si-hwan from 8 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the day following the MLB office's posting announcement until 5 p.m. on the 30th day. If a contract is reached, they must pay Hanwha Eagles a transfer fee in accordance with the Korea-U.S. Player Contract Agreement.

If no contract is reached by the expiration of the negotiation period, the posting will be terminated, and player Noh Si-hwan will not be eligible for posting until November 1 of the following year.

Noh Si-hwan signed an 11-year, 30.7 billion won non-FA multi-year contract with Hanwha ahead of last season. The massive mega-contract was scheduled to be valid from the 2027 season through the 2037 season, but if Noh Si-hwan moves to MLB, the contract will be completely voided.
