FOX Sports of the U.S. had a time to select 10 players who are on the free agent market but have yet to sign a contract. The New York Yankees were named the seventh player in the list.
The Yankees have been very active in the Stove League this winter. After losing Juan Soto, dubbed the "biggest FA fish" to the New York Mets, the "Ace" Max Fried signed an eight-year, 218 million-dollar contract, which is the largest deal ever made by a left-hander in the Major League Baseball. This was just the beginning.스포츠토토
The Yankees continued to sign a one-year contract with Paul Goldschmidt from an MVP in the FA market, and through a trade deal, they even embraced another MVP, Cody Bellinger, and Devin Williams, showing what a storm is like. However, the Yankees still have a hole to fill. They are either second or third basemen.
The Yankees also parted ways with Gleyber Torres, who had been the main second baseman along with Soto this winter. In fact, the breakup of the Yankees and Torres was influential even before the start of the Stove League, and Torres was hired as a uniform for the Detroit Tigers. As Jaz Chisom Jr. can play all positions in the infield, Yankees will be at a stage where they can complete their formation by recruiting second or third basemen throughout the rest of the Stove League.
Currently, the player who suits the Yankees best is Kim Ha-sung. Kim Ha-sung has been linked to the Yankees through multiple media reports in the U.S. In particular, A.J. Pijinski, who has recorded 2,043 hits and 188 home runs for 19 seasons in the Major League alone, also predicted that Kim Ha-sung will wear the Yankees uniform. On top of that, "FOX Sports" has gained momentum once again.
"FOX Sports" predicted that Kim Ha-sung will wear a Yankees uniform, saying, "The Yankees made a huge additional recruitment after losing to the New York Mets in Juan Soto's recruitment, but since Gleyber Torres, who has long been a second baseman, left. The Yankees need more players who can get on base and create runs. The Yankees can take advantage of Kim Ha-sung's clever base running."
"FOX Sports" then said, "Kim Ha-sung will also produce amazing results if he takes the batter's box with Aaron Judge as an outstanding pioneer. Kim Ha-sung ranked 30th in the 2024 FanGraph Base Learning Index, and the power of high baseball IQ and defensive versatility will breathe fresh air to the Yankees, who suffered from mistakes, lack of basic skills, and lack of concentration in the infield."
Finally, "FOX Sports" emphasized, "The Yankees don't need a more colorful FA recruitment than now," adding, "They need a versatile gold glove that can quietly change offensive productivity like Kim Ha-sung."
On the 16th, John Morosi of the "MLB Network" picked the San Francisco Giants and the Seattle Mariners as expected destinations for Kim Ha-sung. The two teams can fill the void of Kim Ha-sung while they cannot return to the ground in the opening game, and they can get a lot of help by using Kim Ha-sung after returning. This is possible for the Yankees. DJ LeMayhew can play the role of second baseman or third baseman before Kim Ha-sung returns.
With the stove league nearing its end, not many players are left in the market. Therefore, references to Kim Ha-sung are being made more often. What kind of uniform will Kim Ha-sung wear.
