The Dodgers have signed infielder Hyeseong Kim on a three-year, 12.5 million deal. Kim had been posted by the Kiwoom Heroes of KBO.
The Orioles have signed right-hander Charlie Morton to a one-year, $15 million deal. First off, congratulations to Charlie and all power to him. Second, didn’t he plan to retire like five years ago? And every year since? The man was a teammate of John Smoltz. Still, good for him that teams are still willing to pay him $15 million.
