Braves projected to retain former Gold Glove Award winner on short-term deal

At the end of the season, the Atlanta Braves learned that shortstop Ha-Seong Kim would opt out of his $16 million player option for the 2026 season and become a free agent. This changed the club's offseason plans to now fill a hole at shortstop.

There are not many options on the open market when it comes to shortstops, with Bo Bichette and Ha-Seong Kim leading the way. With a handful of other shortstops left, some teams might have to get creative.
