Ha-Seong Kim is a free agent. In response to Dennis Lin, the now former Padres shortstop declined his $7 million mutual choice with the staff. He’s owed a $2 million buyout.
Some anticipated Padres information: Ha-Seong Kim declined his finish of his mutual choice and is now a free agent. Wandy Peralta opted in for 2025.

Kim missed October on account of a torn labrum in his left shoulder that he suffered diving again into first base in Colorado August 18. The 29-year-old completed his Padres profession (or at the least his first Padres contract) with a .242 AVG, .326 OBP, .706 OPS, 200 RBI, 78 stolen bases, 47 house runs and a Gold Glove.
The massive query now’s if Kim will be capable of get a multi-year deal from a membership regardless of not being prepared for Opening Day or should signal a pillow contract for 2025 (most likely with the Padres).
