Ha-Seong Kim Unlikely To Be Ready For Opening Day
MLB Network's Jon Morosi reports that free-agent infielder Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day after having surgery to fix the labrum in his right shoulder. However, Kim should be game-ready at some point in the first half of the 2025 campaign. It explains why his free-agent market has developed slowly this offseason and why he still remains available. Morosi mentions the Seattle Mariners and San Francisco Giants as possibilities to sign Kim. San Fran signed Willy Adames to play shortstop but could have an opening if Tyler Fitzgerald doesn't pan out in his first full season. The M's signed Donovan Solano recently, but they could want to add Kim for more infield depth. The 29-year-old will have eligibility at SS, but his mediocre power and injury make him a big question mark in fantasy after he hit just .233 with 11 homers and 47 RBI in 2024. At the very least, Kim will retain value for his speed -- 60 steals in the last two seasons.
