A.J. Piedzinski, who boasts a brilliant career, including 2043 hits, 188 homers, 909 RBIs and a .280 batting average in 2059 games in the U.S. Major League, one World Series championship (2005) and two All-Star (2002, 2006).토토사이트

"Kim Ha-sung will wear the New York Yankees uniform," Piedski said in the MLB Network foul territory. "The Yankees need a second baseman, and they are right-handed hitters. They can do something and steal bases. They also defend well. As a second baseman, Kim Ha-sung is a perfect fit for the Yankees."

However, on the 10th (Korea time), the U.S. Major League's "MLBTR" mentioned the name of an infielder other than Kim Ha-sung, saying, "The Yankees consider recruiting Paul Deyong."

"The Yankees, who lost Gleyber Torres in the FA market in December last year, are looking for an infielder," MLBTR said, quoting "New York Post" reporter John Hyman, "Paul De Jong is one of the players the Yankees are considering."

De Jong was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals as 131st overall in the fourth round of the 2015 rookie draft. De Jong achieved his dream of making his Major League debut in 2017 and posted a brilliant record of 119 hits, 25 homers, 65 RBIs, 55 runs batted in and 0.285 batting average in 108 games in the 2017 season. Notably, he recorded 136 hits, 30 homers, 78 RBIs, 97 runs batted in and 0.233 in 159 games in the 2019 season, as he topped the list of 30 homers. He was also listed as an All-Star.

He has since served with the Toronto Blue Jays and San Francisco Giants, and signed a contract with the Chicago White Sox for up to $2 million, including a one-year option, after the 2023 season ends. Although it was traded to the Kansas City Royals in late July, the 2024 season was a meaningful one for De Jong. He recorded 101 hits, 24 homers, 56 RBIs, 54 runs and a batting average of 0.227 in 139 games. He has exceeded 20 homers and 100 hits in five years since the 2019 season.

However, it has not been well received in the FA market. "Deyong's on-base percentage was 0.276 during the last season. He is the eighth lowest among batters who have played at least 450 times. His strikeout rate is 32.4 percent, the third highest," MLBTR said. "However, thanks to his power and defense, he is a good choice to play in the 2025 season."

If Deyong is chosen by the Yankees, there may be a change in Kim Ha-sung's destination. After the opening of the FA market, the names of the Yankees, the Atlanta Braves, the Boston Red Sox, and the Milwaukee Brewers have been released, but no specific news has been heard. He has been on the Major League stage for the San Diego Padres since 2021.

Kim Ha-sung recorded a batting average of 0.242 OPS of 0.706 with 418 hits, 47 homers, 200 RBIs and 229 runs in 540 games over the course of four years. In the 2023 season, he showed strong performance in 152 games with 140 hits, 17 homers, 60 RBIs and 84 runs and a batting average of 0.260 OPS of 0.749. After the end of the season, he was listed in the Gold Glove Utility Division of the National League.

As expected, injuries can hamper him. He had to finish the season early after suffering a shoulder injury in the game against the Colorado Rockies in August last year. The start of the 2025 season is also uncertain. Where is Kim Ha-sung going.
