According to local reports, the New York Yankees, a prestigious Major League club, are interested in recruiting "FA infielder" Kim Ha-sung. If Kim Ha-sung wears a FinStreet uniform, he will share a dream with "superstar" Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger.토토사이트

The U.S. media "BVM Sports" recently reported, "The New York Yankees are coveting Kim Ha-sung, a former Gold Glove star who is expected to sign a $36 million (about 52 billion won) contract as a substitute for Gleyber Torres." 

The media said, "The Yankees are studying how to have a challenging offseason after Juan Soto's departure. Among them, we are focusing on reinforcing the infield," and added, "During various speculations regarding the future of second baseman Gleyber Torres, the Yankees traded Jazz Chizome Jr. last summer and see Kim Ha-sung, a former Gold Glove player in the offseason, as a potential recruitment candidate."

"Kim Ha-sung, who is a free agent, can play multiple positions in the infield, including second and third basemen. The Yankees are considering various options to strengthen their roster in the upcoming season," he added. 

The size of Kim Ha-sung's contract is expected to be $36 million for two years. Due to shoulder surgery at the end of the 2024 season, he predicted a small short-term contract. The media said, "Kim Ha-sung's defense meets the needs of the Yankees, but there are still concerns about his recovery after shoulder surgery. This could have an immediate impact on the team's power." 

"If Kim Ha-sung's recovery from injury goes as planned, the recruitment is expected to be completed. Yankees, which aim for a competitive season, desperately need to reinforce their infield, and the recruitment of Kim Ha-sung can be a strategic acquisition to strengthen their defense and depth," he/she praised Kim Ha-sung. 

Kim Ha-sung, who signed a four-plus-one-year contract with San Diego in 2021 for up to 39 million dollars (about 55.8 billion won), finally qualified as an FA in the stove league. There was an $8 million (about 11.4 billion won) mutual option for the 2025 season, but Kim Ha-sung refused to exercise the option and exercised his FA rights for $2 million (about 2.8 billion won).

Kim Ha-sung encountered an unexpected injury reef while cruising through the preliminary FA season. On Aug. 19, he suffered a serious right shoulder injury while driving to the first base headfirst sliding away from the Colorado Rockies, and underwent arthroplasty under the house of sports athlete surgery authority Dr. Neal Elatrice in September. 

According to multiple U.S. media, Kim Ha-sung is not expected to be able to return to the ground until May next year at the earliest.
