Detroit recruits infielder Torres to 'discuss Kim Ha-sung's destination'

Blog Article

The Major League Baseball (MLB) Detroit Tigers, who were mentioned as the destination for free agent (FA) Kim Ha-sung, recruited infielder Gleyber Torres.

The Detroit club announced on the 28th (Korea Standard Time) that it had agreed to a one-year, $15 million contract with Torres.

Torres, who made his big league debut with the New York Yankees in 2018 and played in only one team until this year, made his first transfer since his professional debut.

The overall performance of the big league is 0.265, 138 homers, 441 RBIs, 0.334 on-base percentage, and 0.441 slugging percentage in 888 games.

Torres, who can see shortstop and second baseman, will take over as the starting second baseman in Detroit.

Meanwhile, Torres' transfer is expected to affect the future of Kim Ha-sung, who is looking for a new team.

Kim Ha-sung, who played for the San Diego Padres for four seasons, came to the FA market after the end of the 2024 season. Several teams showed interest in Kim Ha-sung, who was verified in MLB, but it has not yet led to a contract.

There have been constant rumors that Lee Jung-hoo's team, the San Francisco Giants, are interested in Kim Ha-sung, but the possibility has become small as another FA infielder, Willy Adames, has been recruited.

Detroit was also a team that was mentioned as Kim Ha-sung's destination, but signed a contract with Torres.

The options are decreasing, but the possibility of transfer is still open. Yankees, who have a gap in the infield as Torres exits, may be interested in Kim Ha-sung. 스포츠토토

Local media also continue to report the possibility of Kim Ha-sung going to the Yankees. There is a good possibility that Kim Ha-sung will be added to the Yankees' "shopping list," which has been recruiting Juan Soto since he was lost to the New York Mets.
