In a year with a weak position player class in free agency, the centre-fielder is considered one of the top players on the market.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today says the New York Yankees, New York Mets and San Francisco Giants are among the clubs interested in Lee, 25.
Lee underwent season-ending ankle surgery in July, finishing his season after 85 games. He hit .319/.407/.456 with six home runs and 45 RBIs.
Lee was the KBO league’s most valuable player in 2022 and the rookie of the year in 2017. He is a five-time Gold Glove winner.
