Dodgers have cornered the market on baseball

The contract is worth $29 million and includes an opt-out clause after this season, sources told MLB.com. The club has not confirmed the agreement. If finalized, the deal will pay Kim $13 million this season, making him the highest-paid player on the team, and $16 million in 2026 if he doesn’t opt out. At $29 million overall, it would be the fifth-largest free-agent contract in franchise history and the largest for a position player behind the four-year, $34 million contract Greg Vaughn signed with Tampa Bay in December 1999.
