Jacob Wilson (SS - Ath)

12/17/25 2:27 PM -
[NBC Sports Bay Area] - Athletics reportedly made strong Ha-Seong Kim offer before he signed with Braves. The Athletics took a big swing but couldn’t quite make contact. Per , the A’s offered free-agent infielder a four-year, $48 million contract before the 30-year-old opted to sign with the Atlanta Braves. As reported, the A’s deal would have represented the franchise’s second-largest commitment to a free agent, surpassed only by pitcher from last offseason. Per Rosenthal, the green and gold even were willing to increase that offer to land their man. Instead, Kim — who split last season between the Braves and Tampa Bay Rays — chose to return to Atlanta on a one-year, $20 million deal that allows him to test the market again next offseason. For the A’s, it’s a free-agency miss that leaves them still searching for infield help as the new year approaches. Per Rosenthal, the team’s plan was for Kim to spend most of his playing time at second base and occasionally spell Jacob Wilson at shortstop. Now, however, options on the open market are limited. The top remaining free-agent infielders, such as Bo Bichette, are likely to command more money than the Athletics can spend. With Kim locked up elsewhere, the A’s might have to turn to trades to bolster their roster. Kim, who received the National League Gold Glove Award for utility players in 2023, is a career .242 hitter with 52 home runs in five MLB seasons. He played just 48 games in 2025, missing most of the season with shoulder and back injuries.

It’s their version of the Giants’ higher profile failures luring Bryce Harper, Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge — names slightly more familiar in the average household than Ha-Seong Kim and Merrill Kelly. What is coming out is the […]

Ha-Seong Kim (SS - ATL)

12/16/25 3:28 AM -
Infielder Ha-Seong Kim returns to Braves on $20 million, 1-year contract. Shortstop Ha-Seong Kim is returning to the Atlanta Braves. He agreed Monday to a $20 million, one-year contract. Kim gets a $4 million raise. The 30-year-old from South Korea had declined a $16 million player option from the $29 million, two-year contract he agreed to in February with Tampa Bay. The Braves announced the new deal with Kim Monday night. The return of Kim means Mauricio Dubón likely will be available in a utility role instead of being asked to play shortstop every day. The Braves acquired Dubón from Houston last month.
