Kim Hye-sung is likely to have difficulties at bat because he doesn't have much power, and he is more of a utility infielder than a full-time main player."
Alex Bregman, the biggest fish in the FA market, has not been able to decide his destination. The U.S. media predicted that Bregman could head to the LA Dodgers, referring to Kim Hye-sung's power.토토사이트
The U.S. ESPN examined which team Bregman is most suitable for, shedding light on his current situation on Tuesday (Korea time). With a total of six teams selected, the Dodgers also picked as one of the candidates.
"The Dodgers have Max Muncy at third base, and they plan to recruit Kim Hye-sung and use him as second baseman," ESPN said. "Muncy has a one-year contract left and the Dodgers have a team option in 2026. Kim Hye-sung is likely to have difficulties at bat because he does not have much power, and he is more of a utility infielder than a full-time starter."
"Bregman is a much better contact heater than Muncy or Theosca Hernandez. This is a very important factor in the postseason. Of course, the presence of Bregman, Muncy and Kim Hye-sung all overlap in positions during a season, but the Dodgers have plenty of room to distribute at-bats," he said.
ESPN once predicted Bregman's trip to the Dodgers. ESPN reported on Monday, "Why should the Dodgers stop now? If Bregman cannot find the big contract he wants, the Dodgers could end up with an unexpected destination."
However, this suggestion is not realistic. No matter how much the Dodgers form an "evil empire," it will no longer be able to attract funds. According to Sporting News, Bregman wants a seven-year contract worth 200 million U.S. dollars. Recently, the Dodgers has secured liquidity through Dipper and is continuing to recruit large players. However, another massive contract is impossible.
ESPN also acknowledged that it is an unlikely scenario. However, the Dodgers' contracts with Muncy, Miguel Rojas, and Michael Confoto will expire after 2025. ESPN said it will be able to secure more than 49 million U.S. dollars after the contract expires.
Bregman, who made his Major League debut in 2016, recorded 1,132 hits, 191 homers, 663 RBIs, and a batting average of 0.272 OPS of 0.848 in nine seasons. He became an FA after completing the 2024 season. The original Houston Astros offered $156 million (about 227.7 billion won) for six years, but rejected it and came to the market.
The Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, and New York Mets are reportedly trying to recruit Bregman.
Meanwhile, ESPN said that in addition to the Dodgers, Houston, Toronto, Detroit, Boston, and the Chicago Cubs are suitable for recruiting Bregman.
