Rays officials, whose interactions with Kim through the free-agent recruitment and signing process had been via Zoom calls, were pleased to welcome their most prominent, and expensive, offseason acquisition face to face. “Excited to see him,” manager Kevin Cash said. The Rays cautiously have been projecting late May for Kim to resume playing shortstop. Source: https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2025/02/14/ha... |
2/13/25 | ANTHONY VOLPE VS. HA-SEONG KIM. The New York Yankees may have missed a significant opportunity by not signing Ha-Seong Kim, and as Sports Illustrated recently highlighted, that decision could come back to haunt them.

Many fans and analysts, including me at BYB, have long believed that Kim would have been a perfect fit for the Yankees' infield this offseason. The Yankees' faith in Anthony Volpe played a big role in their decision not to pursue Kim in my opinion. Source: http://bleedingyankeeblue.blogspot.com/2025/02/ant... |

"Kim's high baseball IQ and defensive versatility and prowess would be a breath of fresh air for a Yankees team that ranked 30th in FanGraphs' baserunning metrics in 2024 and routinely suffered from defensive miscues, poor fundamentals, and mental lapses in the infield (see: the World Series)," wrote Thosar.
