The Detroit Tigers could be in the running for a surprising free agent.
head into the offseason with the goal of adding someone who can bring some stability to the third base position after multiple seasons utilizing a platoon and getting a lack of production from the hot corner.
Offensively, Detroit has finished outside the top-20 in OPS from third base in the lineup for the last three years straight. Adding someone or figuring out a more creative solution has to be near the top of the list of goals this winter. Of course, the one that everyone wants to land isIf things do play out that way, Detroit will have to look elsewhere including into the possibility of signing a someone who has primarily been a shortstop and move them over to third.
Kim was predicted in the same article to land $52 million over four years for the size of the contract, so obviously he comes at a significantly smaller financial commitment than any of the top players on the market while also bringing a solid bat and elite defense, potentially being able to play at his natural shortstop position as well on some days.
He will not change the offense like Adames or Bregman could, but he would at the very least answer half of the daily question of who is going to be playing on the left side of the infield for Detroit. Keep an eye on the under the radar Kim as his market develops.
