MLB free agency is in full swing, with several big names already off the market. However, there are still impact players available, and the trade market is active as well.
The Dodgers made a significant move by signing KBO infielder Hyeseong Kim to a three-year deal worth $12.5 million guaranteed, with a potential value of $22 million with options. Kim, who has been training in Los Angeles, had an impressive season with the Kiwoom Heroes in the KBO, hitting .326 with 11 home runs and 75 RBIs.
Meanwhile, the 2021 Cy Young Award winner, Corbin Burnes, agreed to a lucrative six-year, $210 million deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Burnes turned down a qualifying offer from the Orioles, who will receive draft pick compensation.
In another notable move, Gleyber Torres signed a one-year, $15 million contract with the Detroit Tigers after spending his entire career with the Yankees. The 28-year-old second baseman will look to bounce back from a down year and hit free agency again next winter.
The first-base market picked up steam with the Astros signing Christian Walker to a three-year, $60 million deal. This triggered a series of moves, including the Guardians signing Carlos Santana and the Yankees acquiring Paul Goldschmidt.
