How the LA Dodgers landed Hye-Seong Kim for $12.5 Million

[@EV_Warrior]

I LOL'd at, "So why didn't he play in Anaheim? Ok, do I really need to explain this to you?"

[@davec9736]

...and shows the crowd in stadium 🤣

[@everettemathisjr3410]

So they getting rid of Kiki it’s a shame Kiki is more experienced

[@everettemathisjr3410]

He is not a good fielder

[@danielmulato4184]

They got younger, more athletic and way better defensively for cheap. Nice

[@peetonswitch]

How can Dodgers be an evil empire when the whole team is humble and it’s not the dodgers fault for wanting to win 😅 other teams should go out and spend too!

[@yaniyuhara8165]

This is a business move as well as a baseball move. By signing this Korean player, Dodgers are actively trying to expand the brand “Dodgers” in Korea. Apparently they had a huge success with Japanese market by signing Ohtani and Yamamoto.

[@manuelarmas4877]

I agree

[@kneelbeforezod2160]

They keep calling the Dodger evil empire. It’s would be great if other owners spend money on competing with other teams that players would want to go with them. It would be great for baseball.

Glad the Dodgers stuck it to the Angels again.

[@davec9736]

Serious!! I'm glad Shohei stopped wasting his time there. There was no interest in winning the WS.

[@StellonC]

@davec9736 Shoei always wanted to be a Dodger. The only reason he signed with the Angels was that the NL didn't have the DH back in 2017.

[@Mr1stcat]

💯💙 Let's go Dodgers and F the angels for holding Shohei back and ruining Mike Trout's career

[@mycol8455]

Thank You Branch Ricky, you made all this possible... The gift that keeps on giving, giving every man a chance... GO BLUE

[@72garibay]

Teo said it’s the best organization With that .. everyone wants to be a dodger

[@Heybrotruthhurts]

I dont think he'll draw in thr amt of korean fans as some say. Sure some will come watch him soley because hes korean, but he needs to actuay be good for a larger korean fanbase to want to come watch and support him.

[@robliou5319]

Great vid! Love the comparison between jinan/ Ningbo to sh, though those cities are actually not that bad!!!

[@baseballnow1]

haha, honestly I just picked 2 random Chinese cities that had at least 5 million people that I hadn't heard of and wouldn't be too hard to pronounce. When I went to look for unflattering pictures of those cities, it was actually quite difficult because as you mentioned they actually looked quite nice haha

[@CuriousJet]

I’m here after Lux got traded to Reds. And I think baseball fans will hate Dodgers more after Sasaki joins them 😆

[@GobxLee]

if you're Korean, you know that Korean food in LA is better than Korean food in Korea.

[@arcticredpanda4598]

because USDA beef is undefeated

[@xdean]

Dumb comment. You are probably some 2nd gen Korean who speaks no Korean, but Ktown food nowhere near good as the authentic foods in Korea.

[@no_regerts5176]

@@xdean I hate when white people try and tell me how Korean food is supposed to be. Korea sucks. I lived there.

IDK, I'm an American that spent a day in Korea on a layover for a Job In Thailand. I was there long enough for lunch and dinner. The two steaks I had were spectacular. And I know steak

[@OhtaniHeaven]

Dodgers tickets average $50 a pop? 🤣 On what planet ?

[@ghosttownbound]

They still sell out 55,000 seats on a regular basis regardless of cost....

He had a killer second half last year and he cost almost nothing. He will pop off next year man trust me.

[@byongyu5177]

[@evilgiraffe]

Lux does not suck. His floor is league average and he's cheaper than Kim. Lux managed to be one of the best hitters in MLB for a month last year. Kim will never sniff such heights. Happy to have Kim aboard, but he is not taking second base from Lux anytime soon. Kim will not be a difference maker in his first year.

[@cdmix2709]

Kbo isn’t nippon he’s just an average at best player nothing special.

[@MyMeTube]

They already have a Korean utility guy in Tommy Edmonds
