Another Korean star is heading to the majors.
The Kiwoom Heroes announced Tuesday they asked the Korean Baseball Organization to post second baseman Hyeseong Kim, according to Jeeho Yoo of Yonhap News.
KBO officials then informed Major League Baseball about Kim's availability, per Jeeho.
MLB teams will have 30 days to negotiate a deal with Kim once the league notifies the clubs.
Per Kiwoom Heroes. The negotiating period will open at 8 a.m. ET Dec. 5, and close at 5 p.m. ET Jan. 3.

I guess MLB will let teams know at noon ET Wednesday, Dec. 4, after all. (Since it's late at night in ET no3 and league and teams wouldn't be working at this hour) https://t.co/KVZULgdJN7
The Seattle Mariners are reportedly among the suitors interested in the 25-year-old.
Kim recorded 11 homers, 75 RBIs, 30 stolen bases, and an .841 OPS over 127 games for the Heroes in 2024.
