Choo Shin-soo (41, SSG Landers) will play until the 2024 season and end his active career.
Professional baseball SSG announced on the 14th, “Choo Shin-soo has decided to retire after playing one more season in 2024.”
Choo Shin-soo said through the club, “During the off-season, I thought a lot with my family (about retirement and extending my active career). “Every time that happened, the support of SSG and the fans, and above all, the images of the junior players flashed before my eyes,” he said. “Both the club and the new coach needed me and respected my opinion,” he said.
He added, “Next year's results are important, but depending on the team situation, I want to contribute to the team by training with junior players on the Futures (second team) team at any time and sharing my experiences and thoughts.”
Shin-Soo Choo plans to sign an annual salary contract for the 2024 season at 30 million won, the lowest in the KBO league, and help with the club's fund flow.
Choo Shin-soo's annual salary this year was 1.7 billion won.
I plan to donate my entire annual salary of 30 million won.
Choo Shin-soo also promised donations and various fan services in 2024, his final year of active duty.
Choo Shin-soo said, “I think the time has come to put an end to the 23 years that I have been playing baseball in the United States and Korea since 2001. “As this is the last season, we would like to express our gratitude to the fans who have supported us so far and give them meaningful memories regardless of whether they are home or away fans,” he said.
In the final season, Choo Shin-soo also wears the SSG armband.
SSG's new coach Lee Soong-yong hoped that Choo Shin-soo would take over as captain, saying, “Not only does he have a wealth of experience and leadership, but he is also highly respected by the players.”
