According to statistics firm Spotrac, Bae signed a contract with Pittsburgh for 800,000 U.S. dollars in salary in 2025. The minimum annual salary of MLB in 2025 is 760,000 dollars.

This year's salary was $755,000.

Bae Ji-hwan played as a full-timer in MLB in 2023, but played only 29 games in 2024 due to frequent injuries.

Because of this, MLB service time is still only about a year.

Spend the 2025 season full time, and next year he will be eligible for pre-salary adjustments. The pay can then be negotiated, but if the club does not reach an agreement with the player, the deal will have little impact as it will allow the club to sign a contract at the MLB's lowest annual salary. Of course, the club can choose to sign a one-year contract with a player before arbitration for a sum higher than the MLB's lowest annual salary in order to build a favor for future negotiations, but it is not obligated to do so.

Bae will be eligible to adjust his annual salary after 2026 season. He will be paid around 1 million dollars as a rain. After adjusting his annual salary every year for three years, he will become a free agent. This is true under the premise that he plays full time in the big leagues every year.
