Major League Baseball's official website MLB.com predicted the winter meeting on the 9th (Korea time) and reported that the Detroit Tigers are interested in Kim Ha-sung. The Major League Winter Meeting will be held in Dallas from the 9th to the 12th local time.
MLB.com says `Detroit look for right-handed hitters and starting pitchers. For batters, the left infielder is ideal. The FA market is looking at a wide range of options, from Alex Bregman to Kim Ha-sung.
Major League Trade Rumors also said that `from a purely baseball perspective, Kim Ha-sung is ideal for Detroit.'
MLB.com says 'Detroit returns to winter meetings in a much better position compared to a year ago. I brought a better view than last year. Detroit will be agonizing between recruiting veterans who can develop a young energy that soared in the second half of the season and add balance based on it,' he explained.
Detroit went 86-76 in the 2024 regular season. He ranked third in the American League Central Division and third in the American League wild card rankings, securing a dramatic fall baseball ticket.
Detroit met the Baltimore Orioles in the division series after winning the American League Central in 2014 and was eliminated for the third consecutive time.
Since then, Detroit has experienced a long dark period. He returned to the postseason in 2024, a decade later. It was a difficult start in 2024. At one point in the first half of the year, there were as many as 10 games with the third-place wild card. However, he succeeded in counter-attack in the second half of the year and had a miraculous come-from-behind race.

MTR said Detroit showed interest in Kim Ha-sung. Toronto Blue Jays and San Francisco Giants are also known to have contacted Kim Ha-sung. San Francisco is out of contention for Kim Ha-sung with the signing of Willy Adames.
MTR says a short-term contract could be attractive for Kim Ha-sung and Detroit. There is an expectation that Detroit will aggressively upgrade its key players as it returns to the fall baseball league.
MTR is ideal for Detroit in many ways from a purely baseball perspective. Kim Ha-sung is quick and doesn't strike out well. It will be of great help to Detroit, which has fewer on-base percentage and steals. In addition, right-handed hitter Kim Ha-sung adds balance to Detroit, which has many left-handed hitters. Kim Ha-sung is a strong defender in every position in the infield. You can meet your team's needs at third base or shortstop.
Sports media The Athletic ranked Kim Ha-sung 12th in the remaining FA market. He is third among the infielders and second without the first baseman. The Athletic set Kim Ha-sung's appropriate ransom at $36 million (about 50 billion won) for two years. MTR classified Kim Ha-sung as 43rd. It was estimated at 12 million dollars per year (about 17 billion won).
