Though cost and positional issues may render any hope for his pursuit by the Cubs futile, it’s hard not to get excited about the news that the KBO’s Kiwoom Heroes plan to post star shortstop Ha-Seong Kim this offseason. According to MLB Trade Rumors, Kim had previously expressed a desire to be posted and is now getting his wish after seven seasons in the KBO.
He was just 18 when he debuted and won’t turn 25 until later in the month, so he’s much younger than most KBO or NPB players who are posted near or well into their 30’s.
