00:00Braves face uncertain future with Ha Sung Kim staying in Atlanta.

00:05The Atlanta Braves claimed Ha Sung Kim off waivers from the Rays on September 1st,

00:10seeking defensive help at low cost.

00:12Kim comes with injury concerns.

00:14He played just 24 games for Tampa Bay in 2025, and a spotty track record.

00:20With Ozzie Albies out for the year, Nick Allen struggling at the plate,

00:24and Vaughn Grissom failing to secure a role,

00:26Atlanta must determine if Kim is a real solution or just a stopgap.

00:31Even with limited playing time, Kim's defensive reputation still precedes him.

00:36Historically, he excelled at second base in shortstop, posting double-digit outs above average.

00:41Kim's 2023 offense remains his benchmark with 112 WRC+.

00:46However, injuries and inconsistency followed.

00:50In 2025, Tampa Bay appearances were insufficient for true performance assessment.

00:55Kim signed a two-year, $29 million deal with Atlanta, including a $16 million option for 2026,

01:03opting in locks the Braves into uncertainty.

01:06Opting out, Kim enters a risky free agent market attracting teams like the Dodgers,

01:12Mets, and Yankees needing infield talent.

01:14Kim's acquisition signals ambition and internal uncertainty.

01:18Though the Braves focus on bullpen restructuring and rotation depth,

01:23Kim offers stability amidst Albie's health concerns and Allen's struggles.

01:28Is this foundational or temporary?

01:30The test is whether Kim fits strategically for a return to October.

01:34Kim's composition and Allen's work is about 12 months with additional $20 million.

01:39Mets will be able to release their personas.
