“I was in a position to enter the FA Top 10.”
U.S. media continue to view and evaluate Kim Ha-sung (29, FA). Just Baseball recently made a rather strict forecast that it will go to the San Francisco Giants for 52 million dollars for four years. On the other hand, Bleacher Report did not forecast the ransom and destination on the 2nd (Korea time), but generally praised Kim Ha-sung.
Blitzer Report reorganized the top 25 of the 2024-2025 FA ahead of the Major League Winter Meeting on the day. He only ranked 10th in terms of prospects for his destination. Kim Ha-sung ranked 22nd. However, he would rank in the top 10 if not for shoulder surgery.
Blitzer Report said, “Kim Ha-sung recorded a WAR of 10.7 over 2022 and 2023. He was in a position to enter the top 10 free agents this winter. Right shoulder surgery ended it. However, it is on the rise with his age and skill.”
Although 29 is not a very young age, he is not. 토토사이트 꽁머니 Crucially, Kim Ha-sung’s skills and strengths are certain. Blitzer Report said, “He is a good defensive infielder who can provide good contact and speed against attacks when he is okay.”
Kim Ha-sung is calmly taking rehabilitation and rest in Korea after undergoing surgery. According to Kim Hye-sung (25, Kiwoom Heroes), who met at the KBO Awards last week, the two and Lee Jung-hoo (26, San Francisco Giants) strengthened their friendship by eating together. At the time, Kim Hye-sung said, “Hasung will go anywhere well.”
The destination of several top-class FA, including Juan Soto (26), could be decided before or after the winter meeting, which starts in Dallas, Texas on the 10th. If the destination of Willy Adames (29) is decided, Kim Ha-sung is likely to catch fire in earnest. Teams that lost in the Adames recruitment match will put an offer to Kim Ha-sung, and Scott Boras is expected to actively utilize it.
Currently, foreign media rarely expect Kim Ha-sung to be able to sign a contract worth $100 million. The prevailing expectation is that even if a contract of two to three years or more is signed, it will not reach $100 million.
Anyway, the value and strength of Kim Ha-sung’s existence are certain. It seems most important to rehabilitate calmly and come back healthy.
