The Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to terms with utility player Hyeseong Kim on a three-year contract for $12.5 million with a two-year club option for 2028 and 2029. The Dodgers designated catcher Diego Cartaya to make room on the 40-man roster.

The Los Angeles Dodgers struck again in pursuit of a high-profile international free agent, signing infielder Hyeseong Kim on Friday, according to multiple media reports in South Korea. Kim, 25, won't be expected to impact an already star-studded Dodgers lineup;

His current fit with the Dodgers could be as a super utility guy depending on what other moves the team makes this winter. Kim is a career .304 hitter with 37 home runs and 211 stolen bases in 953 games while playing in the KBO.
