Korean shortstop Ha-Seong Kim will be one of this winter’s hottest free agents, if such a thing even exists in MLB’s current climate, and he should hit the market around the end of the month. Kiwoom Heroes GM Chi-Hyun Kim told reporters on Friday that he expects the 25-year-old to be posted shortly after Thanksgiving, well ahead of the December 14 posting deadline.

Several teams figure to be in on Kim, whose hit tool and plate approach appear to be more than capable of carrying him across the talent gap from KBO to MLB.
