Dodgers sign Hyeseong Kim, finalize Teoscar Hernández return as roster takes shape

LA Times  

On the same day the Dodgers officially welcomed back one of the key pieces of their 2024 World Series team in Teoscar Hernández, they made an unexpected addition in free agency, as well. Shortly before the Dodgers finalized their three-year, $66 million re-signing of Hernández, the team also reached an agreement Friday to sign South Korean infielder Hyeseong Kim, a 25-year-old utilityman with a prized glove and, in the words of general manager Brandon Gomes, some “real upside to the bat.” Kim’s deal, which will be for three years and $12.5 million plus a two-year option in 2028 and 2029 that could raise its value to $22 million, added another versatile player into the Dodgers’ title-defense plans — but also raised speculation about further moves potentially coming to the team’s 2025 roster. “A one-year flier on a player doesn’t always into an extension or multiyear deal,” said manager Dave Roberts, sitting alongside Gomes and Hernández in the Dodger Stadium right field club. Gomes said the Dodgers’ current “mindset” is to still play Mookie Betts at shortstop and Gavin Lux at second base, as they had been planning prior to Kim’s signing. Kim’s signing might also lessen the Dodgers’ need for another utilityman such as Kiké Hernández, the only position player from last year’s World Series roster not still under contract with the club.
