Will he move to another contender after Gavin Lux (28) of the Cincinnati Reds who left the team through trade? Kim Hye-sung (26) of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who is preparing for his first season in the big league, is also receiving good news.

Dodgers Way, a U.S. fan columnist site FanSide, said on the 11th (Korea time) that "Kike (Enrique) Hernandez (34) is connected to a rival team in the National League (NL) despite the Dodgers' hope to renew the contract."

The Athletic mentioned the weaknesses of Major League Baseball (MLB) teams, and the Philadelphia Phillies predicted the possibility of recruiting Hernandez, saying the outfield defense is weak.

Hernandez hit .229 with 12 home runs, 42 RBIs, 44 runs and an OPS of 0.654 in 126 games last season, and in the postseason, he hit .294 (15 hits in 51 at-bats) with two home runs, six RBIs and an OPS of 0.808 in 14 games, driving the Dodgers to win the title.메이저놀이터

The Dodgers want to renew his contract with him. Though he was a third baseman last year, there is no reason to reject him, as he served as a "super utility" regardless of second baseman, shortstop, and outfielder, and led the team to victory in the fall baseball with abundant experience.

However, the situation may not be satisfactory to Hernandez himself. Even though Lux left for Cincinnati on Thursday, the presence of freshman Kim Hye-sung could adversely affect his chances to play.

"Nick Casteyanos' defense over the past three years has been one of the three worst defenders in the outfield no matter what the indicators are," The Athletic said, noting that Western Wilson is one of the candidates to fill the slack in the outfield, but added, "Do you think a player like Quique Hernandez would be more reasonable? He is more certain offensively and has positive reviews in all positions. He will be able to play in any position if necessary. The luxury tax could cost him twice as much, but it could be worth it to strengthen his capability."

"When the Dodgers traded Lux to Cincinnati, it seemed likely that he would renew his contract with Kieke. Even though he signed a contract with Kim Hye-sung," the Dodgers' Way quoted the report as saying. "However, he could have a competitor. Hernandez has made it clear that he wants to play for the Dodgers, and fans would like him to join them. However, even if the market demand for him is considerable and he does not return, he will certainly have a choice."

If even Hernandez leaves the Dodgers, Kim Hye-sung, who has to compete for the starting pitcher, can ease the burden even more. Even though the main second baseman has left, Kim Hye-sung can still feel the pressure on the Dodgers' infield.

For now, Mookie Betts is expected to play shortstop and Kim Hye-sung is expected to compete at second base, but Miguel Rojas and Chris Taylor, another utility resource, who stayed on the team by exercising their options, are in good shape. In addition, if Hernandez remains on the team, Kim Hye-sung will have more to climb.

Currently, Kim Hye-sung is seen as the most advanced. In the U.S., which originally predicted that Kim will take on the role of a "super utility," some say that the Dodgers are considering Kim Hye-sung as its main second baseman after the Lux trade.

The important thing is to prove it. If the Dodgers shows why it recruited Kim from the first season, it will be able to leap to the main second base. The key is how fast it will adapt to the big leagues.
