The New York Yankees are exploring options to upgrade their infield and have their sights set on infielder Hyeseong Kim from the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Yankees seem committed to keeping Anthony Volpe at shortstop while looking for alternatives at third base. Kim, a versatile player capable of filling multiple roles, is under contract with the Dodgers through 2029 at a reasonable salary. Currently, he doesn't have a clear place on the Dodgers' roster, which could make him a valuable asset for the Yankees. Acquiring Kim could also allow Jazz Chisholm Jr. to shift to third base, potentially moving Ryan McMahon out of the lineup entirely.
