4/24/25	Rays news: Ex-Padres star gets pivotal injury update. Former San Diego Padres star infielder Ha-Seong Kim signed a two-year, $29 million contract with the Tampa Bay Rays this past offseason. Kim has yet to play in a regular season game with Tampa Bay as he deals with a shoulder injury, though. Rays TV reporter Ryan Bass provided an update on the infielder before Tampa Bay's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night. “ #Rays SS Ha-Seong Kim is in Los Angeles today, accompanied by head athletic trainer Joe Benge, to visit with Dr. Neal El Attrache, who performed his October shoulder surgery, as a check up. Kevin Cash said we'll get word tomorrow on Kim's progress,” Bass wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

3/27/25	Padres' 3 most surprising Opening Day roster decisions. The Opening Day of the 2025 MLB season is finally here. As the season begins, the National League West will once again be one of the top divisions with the San Diego Padres, Arizona Diamondbacks and reigning World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the fold. The Padres lost some players in free agency, including Ha-Seong Kim and Jurickson Profar, but the roster is still stacked with talent. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/san-diego-padres/padr...
2/14/25	Ha-Seong Kim likes the look of things after joining Rays for 1st day. Ha-Seong Kim will need some time to learn his way around the Rays spring training complex, put faces to names and get a sense of the specifics of his shoulder rehabilitation program. Rays officials, whose interactions with Kim through the free-agent recruitment and signing process had been via Zoom calls, were pleased to welcome their most prominent, and expensive, offseason acquisition face to face. “Excited to see him,” manager Kevin Cash said. The Rays cautiously have been projecting late May for Kim to resume playing shortstop. Source: https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2025/02/14/ha...
2/13/25	ANTHONY VOLPE VS. HA-SEONG KIM. The New York Yankees may have missed a significant opportunity by not signing Ha-Seong Kim, and as Sports Illustrated recently highlighted, that decision could come back to haunt them. For those who have followed the Yankees closely, this isn't exactly surprising. Many fans and analysts, including me at BYB, have long believed that Kim would have been a perfect fit for the Yankees' infield this offseason. The Yankees' faith in Anthony Volpe played a big role in their decision not to pursue Kim in my opinion. Source: http://bleedingyankeeblue.blogspot.com/2025/02/ant...

2/02/25	One perfect trade Rays must make before 2025 Spring Training. With spring training quickly approaching, the Tampa Bay Rays' focus on the 2025 season has come into full view. The team's latest move, in which they signed infielder Ha-Seong Kim for a two-year contract, should improve the lineup. It's also the biggest acquisition that the Rays' brass, led by GM Erik Neander, has made this offseason. The free agent market does have some options, but turning their focus towards trade discussions would be a better choice. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/one-perfect-trade-rays-mu...

1/16/25	Yankees predicted to sign 'high baseball IQ' Gold Glover to round out infield. The New York Yankees are searching for an upgrade over their internal options to round out their infield. Ha-seong Kim of the San Diego Padres remains unsigned, but he could be a great fit for the Yankees. Fox Sports' Deesha Thosar predicted that the Gold Glover would sign with the Yankees. "Kim's high baseball IQ and defensive versatility and prowess would be a breath of fresh air for a Yankees team that ranked 30th in FanGraphs' baserunning metrics in 2024 and routinely suffered from defensive miscues, poor fundamentals, and mental lapses in the infield (see: the World Series)," wrote Thosar.
