Shock! Is it because of shoulder injury? Kim Ha-sung excluded from the preliminary FA top 10...MLBCOM Expected → Soto 1st place, Sasaki bonus

"Awesome Kim" Kim Ha-sung (29) of the San Diego Padres, who is on the injured list due to his shoulder injury, was not listed in the top 10 in the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) preliminary FA rankings. He was out of the top 10 in the rankings announced by MLB.COM on the 22nd (Korea time).

MLB.COM introduced 11 players who are expected to hit the FA jackpot after the end of this season. It added one "bonus" to the 10 players who are currently playing in the big leagues. The rankings were announced based on the evaluation of Mark Paynesand, a MLB.COM reporter.

Kim Ha-sung was not included in the top 10. He was selected as one of the top 10 preliminary FA by various media and experts, but was excluded from the MLB.COM ranking this time. It seems that he did not make the top 10 because there are so many outstanding players who are qualified as FA after this season.

Juan Soto of the New York Yankees took the top spot. Soto is almost certain to be a jackpot. The San Francisco Giants, the New York Mets, and the Yankees have been named potential destinations for Soto. Corbin Burns of the Baltimore Orioles came in second and Blake Snell of the San Francisco Giants came in third. Alex Bregman of the Houston Astros and Max Fried of the Atlanta Braves ranked in the top five at fourth and fifth.

The 6th to 10th spots were also filled with outstanding players. Top 10 players were Anthony Santande of the Baltimore Orioles, Matt Chapman of the San Francisco Giants, Pete Alonso of the Mets, Willy Adames of the Milwaukee Brewers, and Jack Fleherty of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Adames, who was considered a contender for his shortstop position at the same age as Kim Ha-sung, ranked ninth, drawing attention.

MLB.COM introduced one more player in addition to the top 10. It called it a "bonus" and included him in the list of players. The main character is Rocky Sasaki who plays for the Chiba Lotte Marines of Japan. He predicted that Sasaki, who dominated the Japanese stage, will be able to enter the big league. The Dodgers including Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are expected to target Sasaki, Baltimore and the Yankees.

Meanwhile, Kim Ha-sung sustained an unexpected injury in the game against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. As a runner on the first base, he felt shoulder pain in the process of going to the base to avoid check by the opponent team. Immediately after signing the replacement, he underwent a postgame test. Though not a serious injury, he was listed on the 10-day IL. He was listed on the injured list for the first time in his four years in the Major League. He is expected to return to the mound at the end of this season.
