The\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0are preparing to face the\u00a0Cincinnati Reds\u00a0in the Wild Card Round of the MLB Playoffs. While the Reds will enter the series as underdogs, they can’t be counted out\u2014they’re an exciting, young team with a solid pitching staff. The Dodgers, meanwhile, have some tough roster decisions to make,\u00a0including what to do with new bullpen arm Roki Sasaki.
\n\u201cSasaki pitched on one day of rest on Friday, and previously got two days off in between his other relief outings. Roberts said Sasaki will not make it into the final two games of the regular season,\u201d MLB.com\u2019s Sonya Chen wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another player to watch is Hyeseong Kim. The rookie appeared in just 71 games this season but has proven to be a valuable asset\u2014offering elite defense, smart baserunning, and positional versatility. Kim was signed during the offseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dodgers have agreed to a deal with Korean infielder Hyeseong Kim, the team announced on Friday. The deal is for three years and a guaranteed $12.5 million with an option for 2028-29 that could increase the value of the deal to $22 million,\u201d\u00a0MLB.com\u2019s Brian Murphy wrote.
\nWhen speaking to the media on Monday, manager Dave Roberts did not commit to whether Kim would be on the postseason roster.<\/p>\n

\u201cHyeseong has been fantastic for us this year. Going into tomorrow we have some tough roster decisions to go over,\u201d\u00a0Roberts said.
\nKim brings elite speed on the bases and could serve as a late-game defensive replacement for Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez if needed. Coming into the season, there was plenty of buzz surrounding the Korean infielder.<\/p>\n

\u201cKim, 25, was posted by the Kiwoom Heroes on Dec. 5, marking Friday as a deadline to sign with a major league team. He’s known as an elite defender at multiple positions as he played second base, shortstop, third base and in the outfield,\u201d\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Jesse Rogers wrote.
\nIt will be interesting to see how Roberts and his staff handle the final roster spots. Kim remains firmly in the mix\u2014and if called upon, he could emerge as a postseason hero.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
