On the same day the Dodgers were set to officially welcome back one of the key pieces of their 2024 World Series team, Teoscar Hernández, they made an unexpected addition in free agency, as well.
The team reached an agreement Friday to sign South Korean infielder Hyeseong Kim, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation who weren’t authorized to speak publicly.
The deal, which will be for three years and $12.5 million with a two-year option in 2028 and 2029 that could raise its value to $22 million, will add another versatile player into the Dodgers’ fold — while also raising speculation about further moves potentially coming to the team’s 2025 roster.
