Sports Illustrated (SI), a U.S. sports media outlet, reported on the 11th (Korea time) 'Boston can recruit a $28 million Gold Glove defender from Padres, San Diego.
Boston wanted a strong right-handed infielder who was widely known in the league, including Nolan Arenado and Alex Bregman. SI recommended that Kim Ha-sung is a cheaper option than these.
In Boston, Trevor Story sees the main shortstop, but he is often injured.
Second baseman will be contested by Bon Grissom and Christian Campbell. David Hamilton is a backup center infielder resource.
The infield players are shallow.
The SI is 'Boston needs more right-handed batters. There is endless speculation that Arenado or Bregman will be recruited. We can find cheaper options in the FA market'
SI is 'Gold Glove winner Ha-sung Kim is unfortunately recovering after shoulder surgery. There is a possibility that he will not be able to play in the opening game. However, Kim Ha-sung said, 'Defensively, he can play shortstop on third and second bases at an outstanding level.'"

The SI is 'Kim Ha-sung is amazing in every way except hitting. The batting is at the league average level. It has achieved the value of a $28 million contract in four years..." he praised.

Kim Ha-sung's stove league seems to be entering a long-term game, but it is constantly connected to several teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Yankees, the Detroit Tigers, and the Atlanta Braves, and Boston.
Major League Trade Rumors (MTR) rather recommended Kim Ha-sung to re-run the FA. After signing a one-year short-term contract, it is better to seek a big hit again. Or, I recommended the 1+@ year form, which puts opt-out a year later. In the current situation, Kim Ha-sung was somewhat sluggish in 2024 and is expected to be at a disadvantage due to overlapping injuries.
