Korean infielder Hyeseong Kim has signed a deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, reports The Athletic. Multiple outlets from South Korea have the deal in the area of three years and $22 million. Word of the contract comes just hours before the deadline for Kim to sign with an MLB team or return to South Korea's KBO.
