The Seattle Mariners are once again in search of a second baseman after declining Jorge Polanco's option due to his injury struggles. With the 2025 season approaching, the Mariners are reportedly considering KBO infielder Hye-Seong Kim as a potential solution.

Kim, a 25-year-old standout, has drawn attention for his impressive offensive stats and exceptional defensive skills, making him a strong candidate for Seattle's future. The Mariners may be shifting their strategy to explore international talent, marking a change from their recent reliance on veteran players.
