According to a report out of South Korea, the Cubs are one of five teams that have made contract offers to 26-year-old (on January 27) second baseman Hyeseong Kim (no relation to Ha-Seong Kim, though they were teammates at one point). Ranked as the No. 26 overall free agent this winter by MLB Trade Rumors, Kim recently concluded a very good KBO season in which he slashed .326/.383/.458 with 11 home runs. A lefty batter who is also capable of handling second and third in addition to a little emergency outfield work, Kim essentially fills the same role as Josh Rojas, who opted to sign on the South Side.
