The warm news of Korean major leaguers waiting for baseball fans, it seems to be over the year in the end.
After the era of Korea's leading major leaguers, including Ryu Hyun-jin and Choo Shin-soo, came to an end, it was Kim Ha-sung who received the baton. As a starting infielder with the San Diego Padres, he saved his pride in Korean baseball. In the 2025 season, even "national second baseman" Kim Hye-sung will challenge himself. However, this winter is colder than expected. We are looking for a bird nest through free agency and posting (closed competitive bidding), respectively, but it is not easy.먹튀검증
◆Last 10 days
Kim's posting deadline is 7 a.m. on Jan. 4, the 30th day since the day after the MLB Secretariat's announcement on the 5th. There are only 10 days left.
I have never heard from him before. It is hard to avoid a cold-headed evaluation of the market. His strong points are contact and fast feet, but it remains to be seen whether his performance will be possible in the U.S., where many big-time pitchers are located. Not only that, but also the question mark is his lack of slugging capacity and his utility ability to fly between defense and outside. Baseball America, a U.S. baseball magazine, ranked him with 55 points for hitting, 70 points for base running, 55 points for defense and 30 points for power as of the 20s and 80s scale.
However, the Seattle Mariners have shown steady interest in Kim. Analysts say that they can rake in enough lottery tickets to fill their weaknesses of second base. In fact, they frequently dispatched scouts to inspect Kim. In addition, Kim Hye-sung's side is expressing confidence by saying, "We have received offers from multiple teams."
There is also a possibility that negotiations will accelerate after the end of the year holiday, including Christmas. In the past, Kim Ha-sung signed a contract only on January 1, 2021, 25 days after the posting was announced, and last year, Ko Woo-seok also stamped his seal on the day of the deadline, so Kim Hye-sung cannot give up hope until the end.
◆ Find the second team
Kim Ha-sung jumped into the FA market without invoking the "+1 year" option included in the $4+1 year 39 million contract signed in 2021 with San Diego. He dreamed of a big-time contract with a luxury defense proved by winning the Gold Glove award and a hit that has grown for four years. There was also a rosy prospect that his bid price would start at $100 million.
It is hard to find vitality than expected. It was due to shoulder injury suffered at the end of last season, and joint surgery that resulted from it. It was an incident that caused a question mark over the image of "steel king" that he has rarely been hurt in not only the KBO league but also the MLB. Local media outlets are also evaluating him by saying that he is the best infielder if he is healthy, adding a critical condition that he should be a normal shoulder.
For this reason, only "說" are rampant. Early in the game, the team had strong connection with the San Francisco Giants, but failed. While the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners, who are dreaming of reinforcing the infield, are emerging as candidates for recruitment, the Los Angeles Dodgers are also being mentioned, but rumors have no clear substance.
Fortunately, he started to build his body. He recently posted a rehabilitation training video on his social networking service, raising expectations. Although he is not fully recovered, he plans to return to work in April next year.
