Recent reports indicate that the Toronto Blue Jays have not extended a contract offer to Korean infielder Hye-Seong Kim, despite previous speculation. According to the KBO in English, Kim has received interest from five other teams, but the Blue Jays are not among them. His expected contract value is reportedly around $10 million, which is lower than anticipated.

With the signing deadline approaching, the Blue Jays' potential fit for Kim seems questionable, especially after acquiring Gold Glove winner Andrés Giménez. The team is likely to position Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at first base, Giménez at second, and Bo Bichette at shortstop, while considering their options at third base, including Gold Glove finalist Ernie Clement.
