MLB.COM cited Buster Posey, the new president, as the reason it evaluated Kim Ha-sung as suitable for San Francisco. "During a meeting with the general managers, Posey recently said that recruiting shortstop to utilize Tyler Fitzgerald in various ways is the most desirable thing for the team," MLB.COM said.
He also mentioned his relationship with San Francisco's current head coach Bob Melvin and Lee Jung-hoo and Kim Ha-sung. MLB.COM said, "Kim Ha-sung was with manager Melvin at the San Diego Padres from 2022-2023. On top of that, San Francisco outfielder Lee Jung-ho is a close friend who once worked together in Korea," explaining the "relationship" between Kim Ha-sung and San Francisco.
As for Kim, who is currently preparing to post, she expected to go to Seattle. Seattle has been frequently mentioned as a destination for Kim.
"Cole Young, Seattle's No. 2 prospect, has performed well in Double-A this year. However, she is not ready to take over as second baseman yet," MLB.COM said. "Kim Hye-sung, who will turn 26 in January next year, has played in the KBO league for more than seven years with a batting average of 0.306, an on-base percentage of 0.364, and a slugging percentage of 0.403, as well as more than 25 stolen bases six times."
He also said that Kim Hye-sung will be an excellent recruit in line with Seattle's situation in the 2024 season. MLB.COM praised him as a contact heater with speed that can bring dynamics to the Seattle lineup, which ranked 14th in American League team batting average (0.224) and had the most strikeouts.
On the other hand, Loki Sasaki, one of the biggest concerns in the FA market, said San Diego is the most appropriate. MLB.COM said, "Sasaki, a genius in Japan, is the most interesting and attracting a lot of attention this winter," adding, "Although he receives attention from many clubs, he is most advantageous in San Diego due to his friendship with Darvish Yu."
