"That seems like about what you would expect from a Boras client, though Kim's less-than-stellar 2025 introduced some doubt. While Kim does seem to have enjoyed his brief time in Atlanta, he remains a Boras client and those don't tend to leave money on the table. It seems pretty unlikely that Kim and Boras would agree to a deal before hitting the open market with no real risk in waiting to at least hear offers."
"Pete Alonso is reportedly seeking a 7 year deal this offseason, quite the bold ask for a poor-fielding first baseman entering his age 31 season coming off a 3.6 fWAR season that was nearly a career best, unless he wants 7 years at an exceptionally low AAV. Upcoming free agent Gleyber Torres will have sports hernia surgery and is expected to return in time for Spring Training."
Ha-Seong Kim is expected to decline his $16 million player option and test free agency if the Braves do not present a compelling offer. Kim remains a Boras client, and his representation typically avoids leaving guaranteed money on the table, making a pre-market agreement unlikely. That decision creates uncertainty at the shortstop position, which is arguably the biggest roster hole for the Braves, though a creative trade could provide an alternative. Pete Alonso is reportedly seeking a seven-year contract after a 3.6 fWAR season entering age 31. Gleyber Torres will undergo sports hernia surgery and is expected back by Spring Training.
