Kim, who turns 26 on Jan. 27, has played eight
seasons in South Korea, the last six with the Seoul-based Kiwoom
Heroes. He set career highs with a .326 average, 11 homers and
75 RBIs while stealing 30 bases.
Kim has a .304 career average with 37 homers, 386 RBIs and 211
steals for the Nexen Heroes (2017-18) and Kiwoon.
A MLB team would pay a South Korean club a fee of 20% of
guaranteed money in a major league contract through $25 million,
plus 17.5% above that through $50 million, plus 15% over that. A
supplemental fee would equal 15% of any earned bonuses,
escalators and compensation from option years that are exercised
or become guaranteed.
