According to Dennis Lynn, a reporter for The Athletic, Ko will receive 1.75 million dollars in 2024 and 2.25 million dollars in 2025. He is expected to earn 3 million dollars as a mutual option in 2026, but the option will not be implemented unless either the player or the club wants it. In this case, Ko will be released as a free agent for a $500,000 buyout. If the option is implemented, it will be a three-year contract of up to 7 million dollars but will be 2.5 million dollars for two years based on the guaranteed amount.

With this contract, LG, Ko's original team, will receive 900,000 U.S. dollars in posting money from San Diego. Under the Korea-U.S. player contract agreement revised in July 2018, the current posting fee is determined by the size of the contract. If the contract total is less than 25 million dollars, the club will receive 20 percent of the amount.
