Korean infielder Kim Hye-seong is set to enter the star-studded MLB stage after joining the Los Angeles Dodgers under a three-year deal worth $12.5 million with an option to extend for two more years.

Korean infielder Hyeseong Kim has signed a deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, reports The Athletic. Multiple outlets from South Korea have the deal in the area of three years and $22 million. Word of the contract comes just hours before the deadline for Kim to sign with an MLB team or return to South Korea's KBO.

The Dodgers on Friday agreed to terms on a three-year contract with infielder Hyeseong Kim of the KBO League, according to multiple reports. Daniel Kim of ESPN was first to report the news. The deal reportedly has the option for an additional two years.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' offseason may not be over after signing South Korean infielder Hye-Seong Kim. They could make a few more moves.

The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Korean Baseball Organization star Hye-seong Kim to a three-year deal on January 3. He would presumably take over as the team's everyday second baseman. That could mean the Dodgers no longer need one of their longtime starters.

Kim could become the next Dodger utility man, following in the footsteps of Kike Hernandez, the only position player from the 2024 World Series team not under contract with the Dodgers. Hernandez remains a free agent.

Unveiled as a Los Angeles Dodger this weekend, South Korean infielder Kim Hye-seong will likely serve in a utility role if he makes the big league roster come March.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have problems that make them the envy of 29 other Major League Baseball teams. At this point, the Dodgers have more good players than they know what to do with. The signing of 25-year-old Korean star Hyeseong Kim only exacerbates that problem.
