Who is this bum in the black t-shirt think he is? talking about the world champs like that like we don’t run the off season AND during the season AND in the postseason. We have proven it time after time but the more people hate the better the dodgers get keep hating but kiss our rings after
Dodgers hoarding everyone and going around the luxury tax with deferrals is bad for baseball. Deferrals need to count in the current year for the luxury tax, the tax needs to be high enough to prevent teams from exceeding it by crazy amounts, and there needs to be a salary floor. I’m aware this is not all directly related to this signing but it’s the truth.
Great move for LA. He and Lux can battle it out for 2B role and if Kim ends up not being a very good hitter in MLB, he could play a super utility bench role for a fair price
He's gonna win the gold glove and bat .300 for the Dodgers this year. If Lux goes back to being mediocre Lux again, Dodgers can play Kim everyday. Go Dodgers!
MLB reported 3 other teams offered more but he’s been a Dodgers fan growing up and team scout already highlighted Kim when they played in S Korea last March. Troops on the ground continue to eat!!!
If the contract was based on the economic impact on the team, it would have been better to sign a player from Taiwan (Chinese Taipei)rather than Korea.
as i predicted, every prospect coming outta asia is expected to be another s.ohtani who is a generational player. the 3-a reality check re the japanese majors, 2-a soth korea will continue to lure these mlb owners until they go broke
These guys are way overstating this signing. If anything three years at $22M is ridiculously high for a guy that is probably not going to hit much at all. I don't even understand why the Dodgers made this move. Calling it "huge" or a "monster" deal is odd.
😂😂😂😂 the next Asian bust!!!!! Those dude can't adapt to MLB pitching!! You'll see!!! By the way, I'm a Dodgers fan!! Not everyone on the Far East is Ohtani!!!!
how tf is he only getting 12.5mil guaranteed over 3yrs?!?! If he ends up being good, teams should be kicking themselves. This was not a case of being beat by LA's money train

This is wild, the revenue from the Korean audience is going to make them unbeatable for the next decade
Dodgers org widely believes power can be taught so maybe they can get Kim who Alr has good contact abilities to have some more pop.

Unnecessary
Can the dodgers leaves some players for other teams.
Kim (short stop) to Kim (second base)? It could happen. Place Betts back in the outfield. Trade Lux for pitching.

3 yr 12.5m. Or 5 yrs 22m last two years team option
Dodgers knew their weakness and dealt with it. Everyone is playing for 2nd.

무조건 좋은 계약이다. 다저스 니네한테 무조건 도움 될 거니까 지켜보고 그저 응원이나해주면돼
Sigh….. guess this puts the nail in an Arenado to Dodgers trade. Sigh from a Cardinals fan.

Yanks need to trade with SD and try and get Manny Machado or Fernando Tatís Jr.
CT3 is still a dodger
I love how everyone no matter what team you root for, the general consensus is to praise the dodgers. pretty lame tbh.
There goes brewers hope
lol japan and korea going to be sporting dodgers gear like crazy now. Even if this guys doesnt do well, he will sell merch for dodgers easily in korea
LAsia Dodgers
Now they also have a share of the Korean market.
More money to spend
Go Dodgers 💙🤍🏆🏆
its not HUGE for the Dodgers…..its a nice bench piece. He helps a little……not a needle mover.

This Is The Way….
Dodgers finally sign someone ,what a dead last 2 off seasons….what year is it?

Read as He-seong Kim 👍

It's time to trade lux.
For left handed reliever
Sign Roki, and resign Kershaw and Kike… And we won the off season with the moves we made 💪💪
how tf is he only getting 12.5mil guaranteed over 3yrs?!?! If he ends up being good, teams should be kicking themselves. This was not a case of being beat by LA's money train
The remaining mission is to acquire Roki Sasaki and a closer.
Dodgers have been renamed the LA Kimono Dragons.
I thought he was a Padres player, but I guess not!? All Koreans have similar names and faces LMAO
More teams should be like the dodger, they just won and have a longer season than anyone else but they still working like they lost.
