"While it is his decision to pick up or decline the player option, either the move is a $2 million dollar shortstop for the final month of the season or $16 million for a 30-year old shortstop with a fantastic defensive resume and a solid offensive resume on a one year deal."
"I hope he picks up the option, because that is a great investment on a one year deal with very low risk and could help bridge the gap to what the franchise has to hope will be Alex Lodise and eventually Tate Southesene. An extension to something like a 2 year $25 million dollar deal for Kim would also make sense and be something I would approve of, as it's not crazy money and a relatively short term deal for a player with a good track record and a reasonable age."
"Raisel Iglesias won NL Reliever of the Month, as he has had a much stronger back end of the season. Roman Anthony is hitting the 10-day IL for the Red Sox and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season before potentially being able to return in the postseason."
Ha Seong-Kim was claimed from the Rays on waivers and can choose to pick up or decline a player option. The claim would cost about $2 million for the final month if he declines, or $16 million for a one-year deal if he picks up the option. Kim is a 30-year-old shortstop with a strong defensive resume and a solid offensive track record, making a one-year commitment low risk. A two-year, $25 million extension would be a reasonable short-term bridge until Alex Lodise and Tate Southesene are ready. Raisel Iglesias won NL Reliever of the Month. Roman Anthony entered the 10-day IL and may miss the remainder of the regular season.
