| 4/14/25 | Los Angeles Dodgers' Star International Signee on a Tear at Triple-A Oklahoma City. Hyeseong Kim, a prominent offseason signee by the Los Angeles Dodgers, didn't make the roster coming out of spring training and instead is spending his first season in the United States with the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets. Kim's play undoubtedly has grabbed the attention of the Dodgers' brass. The 26-year-old infielder, through 14 games, is hitting .293 with three home runs, seven doubles, a triple and 13 runs driven in. The Round Rock Express, who finished a six-game series with the Comets on Sunday, had their fill of Kim. Source: https://www.si.com/onsi/minor-league-baseball/inte... |

| 4/10/25 | Dodgers trade deadline mock proposal lands $50 million All-Star center fielder. Center field is the lone wart on the otherwise ungodly lineup of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Pages is only 24, so the Dodgers may be willing to give him some time to work out the kinks, especially with international signee Hyeseong Kim waiting in Triple-A. But if the position isn't solved by the trade deadline, one can safely assume LA will look to change things up. This is also an ideal year to be searching for center field help at the deadline, because there's a former All-Star available as a rental.

| 4/09/25 | Dodgers could move on from Andy Pages after shocking decision on $12M offseason addition. The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Hyeseong Kim from the Korean Baseball Organization in the offseason. Kim did not hit well in spring training. The Dodgers are hoping he can find his swing in Triple-A, but that still does not guarantee him a spot on the Dodgers' crowded infield. Between Mookie Betts, Max Muncy, Tommy Edman, Kiké Hernández and Miguel Rojas, Kim will have a tough time finding at-bats. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/los-angeles-do... |
| 3/13/25 | Dodgers, Cardinals league-altering trade would make up for Hyeseong Kim miss in big way. The Los Angeles Dodgers have opted to start international free agent addition Hyeseong Kim in Triple-A. They could make up for their miss in free agency by swinging a blockbuster trade. Kim will eventually make his debut in the big leagues. Kim was one of the most sought-after international free agents this offseason and his failure to make the opening day roster is not what the Dodgers were expecting.

| 3/12/25 | Dodgers' $12.5 Million Offseason Addition Will Be Left Off Opening Day Roster. The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a dominant offseason, but not everything is perfectly falling into place as roster spots dwindle with Opening Day right around the corner. A four-time Gold Glove award winner in the Korean Baseball Organization was expected to be the everyday second baseman for L.A., but Hyeseong Kim has been optioned to the minor leagues and will start his MLB career in Triple-A. Manager Dave Roberts noted this spring that the differences in velocity between MLB and KBO might be a bit of a struggle for the infielder.

| 2/27/25 | Dodgers international addition could see surprising start to season. With all the big names the Los Angeles Dodgers have brought in this offseason, one acquisition who has flown under the radar is utilityman Hyeseong Kim. The former Korean Baseball Organization star came over on a three-year, $12.5 million deal this winter after posting a .304 batting average during his eight-year career. The well-rounded Kim also excelled on the bases with 211 stolen bases against just 37 caught stealings and became the only KBO player to win a Gold Glove at both second baseman and shortstop. Kim's 11 home runs in 2024 set a new career high, and he has never posted a slugging percentage above .458 in the offense-friendly KBO. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/los-angeles-do... |

| 1/21/25 | Jack Flaherty Prediction Has Dodgers Star Landing With Major NL Rival. The Los Angeles Dodgers have had quite the offseason. Bringing back key players from the 2024 championship run like Teoscar Hernández and signing new talent such as Michel Conforto and Hyeseong Kim have made the National League's home run-leading team even more of an offensive threat in 2024. To most MLB teams, that is more than enough and already a successful offseason, but remember which team is being discussed here. Bringing in Cy Young award-winning pitcher Blake Snell, re-signing Blake Treinen, winning the Roki Sasaki sweepstakes to land the phenom, and even bolstering the bullpen by acquiring Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates within two days of each other ave solidified L.A. as the best pitching team in MLB.
