Kim Ha-sung transferred from the Tampa Bay Rays to the Atlanta Braves in a surprise move. Atlanta was willing to take on Kim Ha-sung's remaining salary of up to $18 million (about 25 billion won).

U.S. sports media 'The Athletic' reported on the 2nd (Korea time) that the Braves (especially Jurickson Profar) are very happy to recruit Kim Ha-sung.

Atlanta caught Kim Ha-sung through a waivers claim. As soon as Tampa Bay released Kim Ha-sung, Atlanta snatched him. The news that Atlanta signed Kim Ha-sung spread first rather than the news that Kim Ha-sung was announced on waivers. In other words, Atlanta moved that quickly.




Profar played with Kim Ha-sung during his time with the San Diego Padres.

According to The Athletic, Profar has insisted on bringing Kim Ha-sung in the 2026 season.

Profar asked questions about Kim Ha-sung "Oh, that's right. He's a really good player. Oh, yeah. "Really good player. Really good)" he said with a delight.




The Athletic, however, assessed that Atlanta played 'Gambling'.

The Athletic says `Atlanta must pay $2 million for the remaining 24 games of the season. This is the remaining salary of $13 million this year. If Kim Ha-sung executes the $16 million player option in the 2026 season, Atlanta will also pay for this, he explained.

The Athletic said 'Kim Ha-sung has been an outstanding all-round player for the 2022 and 2023 seasons and most of 2024. However, his skills were greatly reduced when he underwent surgery in August 2024 and went on the injured list. Kim Ha-sung played only 24 games for Tampa Bay this year. He pointed out that he set a career low of 0.612, on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) with a batting average of 214'.

The media then diagnosed that `Atlanta took this risk because they know how good Kim Ha-sung performed when he was healthy.'

Atlanta coach Brian Snitker also dreamed of Kim Ha-sung 'before the injury'

Snitker said, `I'm so curious how he's going to do it here. I know that Kim Ha-sung also wanted Atlanta. It's a good transfer. I liked Kim Ha-sung in San Diego. He's a really good player. I'll watch his performanceexpected "
