The Los Angeles Dodgers may explore trading infielder Hyeseong Kim before the upcoming trade deadline. Kim, signed before the 2025 season, has been productive in limited playing time, posting a.271 batting average across 114 games. However, he struggles to find consistent at-bats due to the team's depth in the infield and outfield, featuring All-Star talent like Mookie Betts and Kyle Tucker. With the Dodgers favoring other players, moving Kim could provide them with valuable prospects or bullpen help.
- •Kim has a.271/.318/.361 slash line in 114 big league games.
- •He signed a three-year, $12.5 million deal with the Dodgers.
- •Kim is considered a strong defender with 18 stolen bases.
- •Dodgers have multiple options in the outfield and infield, limiting Kim's role.
- •Trade discussions are likely as the deadline approaches.
