Ha-Seong Kim Headed To Free Agency
1 day agoAccording to Dennis Lin of The Athletic, San Diego Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim has declined his mutual option with the team and will enter free agency. The infielder ended his campaign early after suffering a shoulder injury in August, which caused him to undergo surgery in October. Through 121 games this season, the 29-year-old held a .233/.330/.370 line with 11 home runs, 47 RBI, and 22 stolen bases. He showed a great eye at the plate with a 12.3% walk rate, which is one of the best marks in the sport among qualified hitters. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress during the offseason as he will likely miss time during the start of the 2025 campaign due to the shoulder surgery. Fantasy managers should view him as a safe option for speed with excellent on-base skills.
