The Korean national infielder Kim Ha-sung (26), who entered the Major League LA Dodgers, has been given a green light. Local reports said that the New York Yankees are more likely to recruit Gavin Lux, Kim Hye-sung's rival for second baseman, in a trade.

MLB Trade Rumors, which deals with Major League Baseball news, said on the 7th (Korea Standard Time), "The Yankees are interested in Lux and Luis Aras (San Diego Padres)."메이저놀이터

"The Yankees are having a busy offseason, but it's not over yet," said a media outlet citing ESPN and MLB.COM reports. "The club discussed Araes with San Diego, and the Lux trade also talked with the Dodgers. The Seattle Mariners, who need infielders, are also interested in Lux."

After the 2024 season, Gleyber Torres (Detroit Tigers), who was the main second baseman, left the team. With third baseman Jazz Chisom Jr. likely to move to second baseman, the Yankees are struggling to strengthen their vulnerable positions.

MLBTR predicted that Lux is likely to leave the Dodgers due to the addition of Kim Hye-sung.

The media said, "Mookie Betts (striker) and Lux (second baseman) will take over the Dodgers' center line," but added, "However, the recruitment of Kim Hye-sung may have increased the possibility of releasing Lux to the Yankees."

Furthermore, the media explained that Seattle, which was considered Kim Hye-sung's destination, continued to worry about reinforcing infielders.

MLBTR said, "Lux ($2.76 million this year, about 4 billion won) with a low annual salary will also be an attractive card for Seattle," adding, "If you want to take him, you will have to give up a notable prospect to the Dodgers."

For Kim Hye-sung, who moved to the World Series championship team last year, if Lux, a strong competitor, leaves, he will be able to gain an advantage in the competition for the starting lineup in his debut season.
