Hyeseong Kim has signed a three-year, $12.5 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, aiming to fill the role of primary second baseman. However, his performance this spring has been less than stellar, and suggestions have arisen that he might start the season in Triple-A. Despite early struggles at the plate, the Dodgers remain confident in his potential and are testing his versatility in multiple positions. The team's management is understanding of the adjustment period required when transitioning to a new league.
"Obviously there's always some learning curve," general manager Brandon Gomes recently said. "It's not always linear, so there could be some learning curve. But we're perfectly fine with that, knowing that those other pieces that are in play are really strong."
"I think the hope is obviously just to kind of see what he can do offensively, and then I think we've got a lot of different options," Roberts said earlier in Spring Training.
"We know that he can play second base. Obviously, with James and Andy competing out there in center field, Tommy can play center field as well, but just to have another left-handed option who can play center field-there's certainly not a lot of downside to it."
