He has become a popular man in the trade market. There is a team that wants Kim Ha-seong (28) from the San Diego Padres, but San Diego does not seem to have any intention of selling him.
Jim Borden, a columnist for the North American sports media 'The Athletic' and former Major League Baseball General Manager, held a Q&A session with fans about 25 trade scenarios on the 21st (Korean time).
The current top seller on the trade market is Juan Soto (San Diego). Fans' questions about Soto's future came first, followed by Kim Ha-seong, who is playing with Soto.
This fan, who appears to be a Boston fan, said, 'While everyone is drooling over Soto, I'm keeping an eye on San Diego's other trade candidate. Ha-Seong Kim could single-handedly fix many of the weaknesses of Boston's roster. Boston could have a second baseman who can also cover shortstop. Ha-Seong Kim is a player who will add balance between defense and speed as a right-handed hitter to the lineup. In my opinion, it couldn't be more perfect. New general manager Craig Breslow emphasized the need for Kim Ha-seong, asking, “What would it take to bring Kim Ha-seong back from San Diego President AJ Preller?”
