Sports Illustrated (SI) said on the 27th (Korea time), "As the deadline for negotiations approaches quickly, Kim Hye-sung is attracting attention from three MLB teams, including the Angels."

The teams that are constantly connected to Kim Hye-sung are the Angels, Seattle Mariners, and San Diego Padres.

Previously, Seattle seemed to be moving more actively, but the Angels also seem to be tough.

The Angels also expressed 'great interest' in Kim Hye-sung, SI said.

The Angels also need second basemen. They used a total of seven second basemen, including Luis Renjipo, Jack Lopez, Luis Guillorme, and Michael Stefanik. Renjipo is an injury-prone player, while Lopez and Stefanik were excluded from the 40-man roster. Others have qualified as free agents.

The Angels, which has a big problem with second basemen, are also trying to bring in Brand Rowe, the Tampa Bay Rays second basemen, through a recent trade. It is clear that Kim Hye-sung is a player that fits the Angels' mouth.

Kim Hye-sung applied for Major League posting on December 4th. The Kiwoom Heroes, their team, requested the MLB Secretariat to disclose it the next day. The negotiation period is from 8 a.m. on December 5th to 5 p.m. on January 3rd next year, and from 7 a.m. on January 4th next year in Korean time.

Kim Hye-sung signed with CAA Sports, an agency like Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers), and prepared for her bid to enter the U.S.

After that, he left for the United States at the end of November and negotiated and returned on the 23rd. The negotiations have not failed. Kim Hye-sung is an art and sports agent who received a military service exemption for the gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games. Therefore, there is a limit to the period of stay abroad. You can stay for about a month.

He completed this period and returned without extending it. This is to protect the military service law. He will head back to the United States around the time the contract is signed.

The media said, "Kim Hye-sung recorded a batting average of 0.304 and an on-base percentage of 0.364 during the eight seasons of the KBO League. Known for his speed, he peaked at 46 in 2021 if he had recorded at least 20 stolen bases in the past seven seasons. In 2023, he recorded a batting average of 0.326 on-base percentage of 0.383 and a slugging percentage of 0.458 along with 11 homers and 30 steals."

"Kim Hye-sung, who stood out in defense, won the Golden Glove for shortstop in 2021 and the Golden Glove for second baseman in 2022 and 2023. Since he took the lead in 2018, he has recorded a batting average of 0.306 on-base percentage of 0.364 slugging percentage of 0.403211," he said.
