Kim Ha-sung is expected to sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Bleacher Report (BR) reported.메이저놀이터

BR placed Kim Ha-sung at 18th on Monday (local time), expecting the destination and ransom of the top 25 FA players, and expected the Dodgers to be its destination. The ransom is 14 million U.S. dollars per year.

BR said, "If Kim Ha-sung had become an FA last offseason, he would have become one of the most coveted players on the market. He had 17 home runs, 68 RBIs, 75 walks, and 38 stolen bases during the 2023 season and won the Gold Glove Award. Unfortunately, Kim Ha-sung's OPS dropped from .749 in 2023 to .700 in 2024. What's more worrisome is that he had surgery on his right shoulder joint in October. This could affect his availability early next season."

BR added, "Nevertheless, Kim Ha-sung has proven his outstanding defense at shortstop, second base, and third base. He will get good walks and can steal bases. Some of the teams that will be able to be patient in April will have great luck signing him. Next winter, it might be a slam dunk to give him a qualifying offer. The Dodgers like players with location flexibility and there is a demand for a central infielder. Kim Ha-sung is the perfect fit. If it's not the Dodgers, the San Francisco Giants, San Diego's other NL West rival, will be after Kim Ha-sung."

BR also expected Willie Adames to sign a seven-year, $180 million contract with San Francisco.

BR also predicted that Jurickson Profar will sign a two-year, 34 million-dollar contract with San Diego. Profar was paid 1 million dollars in the 2024 season. In other words, his salary will increase 17 times.
