Ha-Seong Kim Opts Out of $16M Braves Deal, Hits Free Agency Again

Kim declined a $16M option with the Braves and will re-enter free agency. Claimed from the Rays in September, Kim rebounded modestly (.253/.316/.368, 3 HR in 24 games) after shoulder surgery and back issues. With no qualifying offer attached and a thin shortstop market behind Bo Bichette, expect interest from the Giants, Tigers, Royals, Pirates, Brewers or Padres.
