Buried at the tail end of Ken Rosenthal’s latest column ($) for The Athletic was a brief note about Korean lefty Kwang-Hyun Kim, who was just posted by KBO’s SK Wyverns on Friday. The 31-year-old starter had previously been posted five years ago, but returned to Korea after failing to reach an agreement with the Padres at that time. Now that he’s back on the block again, Rosenthal says the Cubs are among a handful of teams showing interest.
Based on circumstantial information only, that interest makes a helluva lot of sense.
