Ken Rosenthal over at FOX Sports has a rumor article up today that includes this interesting tidbit:
The Rockies are trying to upgrade the back of their rotation even as they’re shopping right-hander Byung-Hyun Kim. The Marlins and Dodgers are interested in Kim as a reliever while the A’s are pursuing him as a starter. The Rockies like Dodgers lefty Mark Hendrickson, and they’re in a flexible position with righty Josh Fogg; they could release Fogg in spring training and pay one-fourth of his salary ($906,000).
Byung-Hyun Kim is a 28-year-old righty that Dodger fans will recognize immediately for his side and under-arm pitching. He would be an intriguing addition to the already crowded bullpen, but he for sure isn’t a solution for getting left-handed batters out. Maybe a middle-relief spot would better suit him rather than starting.
Hard to say if the Rockies would want to deal with their NL West fellows, but I guess it depends on how bad they want Hendrickson. Assuming the rumor is true.
