Red Sox Should Target Dodgers' Kim For Infield Depth

The Boston Red Sox might consider trading for Dodgers' infielder Hyeseong Kim if current options like Caleb Durbin continue to struggle.

The Boston Red Sox have infield depth with Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio, and Romy González, but could target Dodgers' Hyeseong Kim if Durbin doesn't improve or Marcelo Mayer struggles. Kim, a versatile player who can play second, third, shortstop, and outfield, hit .280 in the big leagues last season and has Gold Glove credentials from Korea.

Despite having sufficient depth now, Kim would be an upgrade over Monasteria and Isiah Kiner-Falefa on the bench. The Dodgers might be open to trading him as he's stuck in Triple-A with limited playing opportunities. His speed and versatility could make him an attractive option for the Red Sox if they need infield reinforcement.
