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.
