I refuse to get too riled up about the Cubs missing out on a bench option, even one who seemed a pretty perfect fit and who might have a little upside potential.
So I won’t stomp and shout and scream about Korean utility man Hyeseong Kim reportedly choosing another club.
I will, however, register a general and continued sense of contempt for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who don’t miss on their targets these days:
Source: Dodgers deal with Hyeseong Kim is 3 years, $12.5 million guaranteed. He has a two-year option for 2028 and 2029 that would get picked up together, with a chance to make up to $22 million.
— Fabian Ardaya (@FabianArdaya) January 3, 2025As far as how the pieces fit: the Dodgers have said this offseason they are going with the plan of Mookie Betts at shortstop and Gavin Lux at second base. The plan with Kim, a source said, is for him to fill a super utility role. Has played a lot up the middle in KBO. t.co/9TjrbniBMa

— Daniel Kim 대니얼 김 (@DanielKimW) January 3, 2025Hard to blame Kim for choosing a championship-caliber Dodgers team, which will include the chance to make a lot of starts at second, shortstop, and at third, probably. It’s just annoying.
As for the price tag, it’s a relatively cheap deal for a guy who was a star in Korea, but it could wind up relatively pricey for a pure bench guy, if that is what Kim winds up being. But the Dodgers, more than any other team, can afford to pay anything to anyone at any time, so why not?
