Atlanta Braves infielder Ha-Seong Kim has opted out of his contract. This provides a perfect opportunity for the SF Giants to upgrade at second base while at the same time reuniting Kim with Jung Hoo Lee.
Kim signed a two-year contract with the Tampa Bay Rays ahead of the 2025 season that paid him $13 million for 2025 with a player option of $16 million for 2026. Kim decided to forego that $16 million and test free agency instead after he was traded from the Rays to the Braves midseason.
