In a year, the money received has risen vertically.
"Jurickson Profar has agreed to a three-year, $42 million (about 60 billion won) contract with the Atlanta Braves," U.S. sports media ESPN said on the 24th (Korea Standard Time). "Atlanta, which has been struggling to find left field in recent years, scratched its itch. Profar will receive $12 million this year and $15 million in 2026 and 2027."

During the last season, he played 158 games and posted a batting average of 0.280 with 24 home runs, 85 RBIs, 94 runs, 10 steals, and an OPS of 0.839. His performance in games, batting average, home runs, RBIs and OPS were all the highest since his debut.
