KBO star Hye-Seong Kim was posted by Nexen Heroes in Dec., as multiple teams lined up to acquire the Korean star. Seattle Mariners are reported to be among the three teams who have offered Kim a deal worth $15 million over three years.

While this price is significantly lower than earlier rumors, a Mariners analyst warns that even this figure presents risks. Apart from the Mariners, teams rumored to be involved in his sweepstakes include the San Diego Padres, the Toronto Blue Jays, the Anaheim Angels, and the Cincinnati Reds.
