Free Agency Frenzy: Dodgers Lead the Pack in Pursuit of $14 Million Infielder
The Los Angeles Dodgers are a team that certainly isn’t afraid of making a big splash.
Los Angeles has been aggressive in free agency already with the blockbuster signing of Blake Snell he surely won’t be the last move the Dodgers make. The Dodgers have seemingly endless funds and it wouldn’t be shocking to see any player want to join the organization and fight for a championship.
Bleacher Report’s Tim Kelly made a list of the top 10 landing spots for former San Diego Padres Gold Glove Award winner Ha-Seong Kim and had the Dodgers at No. 1.
“In B/R free agent predictions last month, we projected Kim would sign a one-year, $14 million pillow contract with the Dodgers,” Kelly said. “It would be a painful turn of events for Padres fans, but it makes quite a bit of sense.
“It seems that Mookie Betts will play one of the two middle-infield positions for the Dodgers in 2025, but if the plan is to utilize Tommy Edman in center field, the remaining options to fill the other middle infield spots internally are Miguel Rojas and Gavin Lux…President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and manager Dave Roberts love players with positional flexibility, particularly if they can get them when their value is down.”
The Dodgers certainly are familiar with Kim after spending the last four years with the Padres. Could he join Los Angeles this offseason?
