Harold Reynolds' initial reaction to Braves' Ha-Seong Kim signing was embarrassing

Even the most critical corners of Atlanta Braves fandom knows that analyzing moves in baseball as they happen while on TV or radio is very difficult. There is little room for nuance in the moment, but you are incentivized in those sorts of jobs to be both correct AND drive conversation around the move and the players involved. However, when the Braves brought back Ha-Seong Kim on a one-year deal, MLB Network's Harold Reynolds definitely did not rise to the task...or seemingly even try that hard to.

Most pundits reasonably thought that Kim's eventual free agent deal would be for multiple years at a rate close to or exceeding the $16 million AAV that he left on the table when Kim declined his option.
