On Monday evening, Atlanta Braves fans received word that the team brought back Ha-Seong Kim. It was the end of what could have been a harrowing scenario for the Braves given just how shallow the shortstop market was this offseason. Sure, Atlanta was saying that they would have been fine if things played out to where Mauricio Dubon was the everyday shortstop, but there is just no way they were excited about that idea.
Moreover, Kim's contract is right up the Braves' alley. We know that Alex Anthopoulos loves one-year deals even if the AAV is higher than they would prefer.
