He took a one-year contract that'll allow him to get back to free agency after what he hopes to be a healthy season. ESPN's Jeff Passan reported last night that Kim had declined multi-year offers. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic writes that the A's proposed a four-year, $48MM deal. It's unclear if that would have included any opt-out opportunities, though it seems safe to assume they wouldn't have risked a four-year commitment that allowed him to opt out after just one season.

With these conditions still unclear, profit-taking has begun to emerge, resulting in the current technical pullback that warrants attention.
