The Seattle Mariners were mentioned as Kim Hye-sung's destination to challenge the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) with a posting system (closed competitive bidding).메이저놀이터

MLB.COM, the official website of MLB, said, "Seattle is one of the teams that shows interest in Kim Hye-sung, the star of the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO)," adding, "Second base will be Seattle's priority (to strengthen its position) this off-season. You can find the answer overseas." Seattle's main second baseman this season was Jorge Polanco (31). His batting average for this season was 0.213 (89 hits in 417 at-bats) with 16 homers and 45 RBIs in 118 games. As he left the team as an FA after the season, he had a position gap and is facing homework to fill it.

MLB.COM said, "According to MLB network expert John Morosi, Seattle is one of the clubs that carefully evaluated Kim Hye-sung who played for the Kiwoom Heroes in the KBO League," adding, "Kim Hye-sung, who is 25 years old this year, has a batting average of 0.304 in eight seasons in the KBO League. He has a batting average of 0.331 and 55 stolen bases in the last two seasons, and has excellent defense." Kim Hye-sung is not yet in the process of posting system, but interest is rising as she received a request for an identity check from the MLB Secretariat on the 31st of last month. The identity check is a preliminary procedure before recruiting the player.

MLB.COM said, "The Kiwoom team has not posted him yet, so we cannot negotiate with the MLB team, but it is expected to be possible this offseason. Morosi wrote that teams that need second baseman, such as the Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants, and Los Angeles Angels, can enter the market to recruit Kim Hye-sung." The LA Dodgers' move is also interesting. According to MLB.COM, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who announced the opening of the league with the Seoul Series this season, once said, "Our scouts like Kim Hye-sung."

Kim, who debuted as a pro in 2017, has completed seven years of registration for the first team, and is eligible for posting. He is a national infielder who combines ball, water, and liquor. Another strength of his team is that he is relatively young in his mid-20s. "The challenge to the big stage itself is meaningful to me. As much as the team supports me, I want to prepare hard and produce good results during the rest of the year. I will do my best in everything as I always do," Kim said.
