[Reporter Luo Zhipeng/Taipei Report] Whether United Lions main third baseman Pan Ji-kai will declare to exercise his FA free agent rights has not been finalized yet. According to league regulations, if Pan Ji-kai intends to declare FA, he must express his intention to exercise in writing to the United League team before 4 p.m. tomorrow. The remaining He had to make a decision in less than 24 hours. He said, "There is no clear direction yet, but I believe it is in an optimistic direction. I tend to stay at Uni-President. After all, I am in love. I am grateful to Uni-President for choosing me to join. Even if I obtain FA qualifications, I will still choose the original team."

Having said that, Pan Jiekai emphasized, "This is my personal opinion. In the end, I still have to weigh the pros and cons. My career is so short. If I don't get there (the unified team proposes ideal contract content), I believe it will be more difficult for me in my future life, but I think it should be." It’s similar to an ideal. Although I don’t have a clear direction, I believe that the general manager (United Lions team leader Su Tai’an) will give me very good conditions.” After finishing his words, Pan Jiekai suddenly said, “Because, I believe he is a good person.” The media present laughed.

Pan Jiekai believes that if the team needs me, he will want to stay, if not, he will exercise FA rights, that's all.

As for the contract terms that the unified team is expected to offer to retain players, Pan Jiekai said, "I don't have much idea about the details of the contract. It's still at the stage of 'should I announce it?' and I don't have much idea about the content of the contract. I just want to say where I want to play."

This season, Pan played 114 games, setting a career high in a single season. He scored 117 hits in 383 at-bats. He broke 100 hits in a single season for the first time in his career.
