The teams' power reinforcement, which was mentioned as Kim Ha-sung's destination, has entered the final stage. The original San Diego Padres also recruited infield utility Mike Brosseau and said goodbye to the possibility of re-recruitment of Kim Ha-sung.
Here, the Detroit Tigers are paying attention to Kim Ha-sung as the third baseman.
Detroit initially seemed to be far from Kim Ha-sung by filling Gleyber Torres in the second base position. But Detroit is looking for third baseman, says Evan Pecchold, a reporter for the Detroit local media," he said, referring to Kim Ha-sung as a candidate.
Detroit will strengthen the infield next season, according to a local assessment. Earlier, he signed a one-year, $15 million contract with Torres, and rookie Colt Keith, who took second base this year, will move to first base. The position of first baseman Spencer Tokelson is very unstable.

Currently, Detroit's third base is a competition between existing players and prospects. Matt Bearling, Jack McKinstry, Andy Ivanise and Jace Young are all available for third base.
However, baseball statistics website FanGraphs ranked them in the top 20 among the 30 major league teams next year. Therefore, Detroit needs to upgrade its third base position.
According to the media, Detroit is looking at Anthony Santander with Plan B if it becomes difficult to recruit Bregman. Currently, the most advanced teams in the Santander recruitment match are the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Angels. Detroit has Kim Ha-sung as a 'Plan C' if it misses both Bregman and Santander.
