Dodgers Option Infielder Hyeseong Kim, Bobby Miller to Minor Leagues

The Los Angeles Dodgers have optioned infielder Hyeseong Kim and right-handed pitcher Bobby Miller to Triple-A as part of significant roster changes ahead of the season. Kim, who struggled offensively during spring training, will not travel with the team to Japan for opening games against the Chicago Cubs, while manager Dave Roberts emphasized the need for him to gain more experience. The Dodgers are considering alternative options for second base, potentially shifting Mookie Betts back to the infield. Additionally, All-Star pitcher Tony Gonsolin will begin the season on the injured list due to a weightlifting injury, allowing Dustin May to secure a spot in the starting rotation. The Dodgers recently bolstered their lineup, winning the 2024 World Series and adding several star players, which has sparked debate among fans and executives about the implications for the game. A potential blockbuster trade involving Nolan Arenado from the St. Louis Cardinals could further enhance their roster as they seek to maintain their competitive edge.
