Dodgers sign Hyeseong Kim and evaluate roster options as Verlander market gains traction

The Los Angeles Dodgers signed South Korean infielder Hyeseong Kim but are not rushing to trade any infielders. General manager Brandon Gomes stated they are adding talent and will assess their roster options later. Justin Verlander, 41, is attracting interest from multiple teams despite a tough season. He had a 5.48 ERA last year but is seen as a potential rebound candidate for a middle rotation spot on a one-year deal. The Toronto Blue Jays have made an offer to free-agent outfielder Anthony Santander, who had an All-Star season with the Orioles. Other interested teams include the Tigers and Angels, as the market for Santander remains quiet.
