Kim received a $1 million signing bonus and salaries of $2.5 million this year and $3.75 million in each of the next two seasons
The Dodgers saw Kim on their 2024 tour of South Korea and with his arrival they got a player who is about to turn 26 years old, with eight years as a professional and who last season with the Kiwoom Heroes had an average of .326, 11 home runs and 75 runs batted in, plus 30 stolen bases, which enhances his offensive value, as he is not a home run hitter, but has the talent to hit balls that allow him to get on base.
