Finally 'Devil's Agent' Scott Boras opened up about Kim Ha-sung. Several clubs have been in contact with each other with interest, he said.

Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss, who attended the Major League Winter Meeting in Orlando, Florida, opened the door, saying, `It's not bad to use Mauricio Duvon as the main shortstop, but if the club signs a decent contract, it can be upgraded.'

For Atlanta, the most realistic goal is to re-enter Kim Ha-sung. In the second half of the season, Kim Ha-sung, recruited by Atlanta through the waivers claim process, showed good performance with a healthy body for a month, and Atlanta hoped to implement player options next season, but that did not happen. Kim Ha-sung chose to go to the market for now.

Kim Ha-sung's destination has not been decided yet. Bobissette is the biggest shortstop in the FA market this year. With Bisset also yet to sign a contract, Kim Ha-sung is also expected to decide his destination soon. Atlanta is also considering trading shortstop positions, including Corey Seager, but finding an agreement with Kim Ha-sung may be the safest way.

Boras, who attended the winter meeting and spoke with reporters, responded to Atlanta reporter Grant McCauley's question about Kim Ha-sung, saying, `Many clubs have contacted me asking about Kim Ha-sung. Kim Ha-sung is currently in very good health, and I think he is the best two-way shortstop in the FA market, combining defense and attack," he replied.

At least in terms of shortstop defense, it is the agent's 'advertisement' that Kim Ha-sung is the best than Bisset. But even in the local media, "It's not wrong. Bissett can sign a much higher deal because of his great offense, but it is questionable whether he can continue to play shortstop from a long-term perspective. Kim Ha-sung is virtually the only professional shortstop who can go far beyond his market value" he evaluated.




However, considering Boras' story, the market atmosphere, and Atlanta's team's situation, it seems difficult for Atlanta to offer an amount that can shake Kim Ha-sung's mind at once. In particular, according to local media reports, the Detroit Tigers are currently known as one of the teams showing interest in Kim Ha-sung.
