Yankees, FA Bregman, etc. in need of infielders... What about you, Kim Ha Sung?

Blog Article

It is known that the New York Yankees, who are likely to recruit infielders, have no contact with Kim Ha-sung, who declared a free agent (FA).

MLB.COM reported on the 9th (local time) who the Yankees are considering to fill the infield gap. Kim Ha-sung was not among the players mentioned by the media.

The media reported, "The Yankees have recently been connected to Luis Arraez, the San Diego Padres' batting king, but they have never discussed a trade other than having a brief contact in November last year." Gavin Lux was also one of the second baseman options considered by the Yankees, but it is no longer possible after the Los Angeles Dodgers traded him to the Cincinnati Reds."메이저사이트

The Yankees will have to fill in the infield gap after Gleyber Torres, who was the team's main second baseman in the 2024 season, moved to the Detroit Tigers. The Yankees are aiming to recruit either a second baseman or a third baseman. If they succeed in recruiting a third baseman, Jazz Chisom Jr., who was the main third baseman of the previous season, will move to second baseman.

As a result, many media outlets predicted that Kim Ha-sung would go to the Yankees. Kim Ha-sung, who mainly played shortstop in the previous season, is recognized in infield defense as much as he won the Golden Glove in the utility category in the 2023 season. Shortstop as well as second and third basemen can also play as a resource.

However, the media did not mention Kim Ha-sung. The media picked potential candidates for second baseman Jorge Polanco and Braden Rodgers, and third basemen Alex Bregman and Nolan Arenado. For the Yankees, aiming for Bregman, the biggest fish in the FA, is the best scenario. Bregman played in 145 games in the previous season and had a batting average of 0.260 151, 26 homers, 75 RBIs and 79 runs.
