The San Diego Padres' former infielder, Ha-Seong Kim, just signed a $20 million contract with the Atlanta Braves. That's not huge news anymore for San Diego fans. They let Kim walk in free agency last winter, and it's not like they were attempting to sign the utility man to a new deal this winter.

After all, he struggled last year with the Rays, and was solid for Atlanta in a limited stint.

Why, you ask, should the Padres care about this signing? Because of the man who was DFA'd from Atlanta's roster in order to make room for Kim.
