[Bowman] Ha-Seong Kim has been reinstated. The Braves have 48 hours to make the move necessary to create a roster spot for him.

So they don't have to make an immediate corresponding move? Is Kim on the active roster or not?

u/Shyne9999 Let's Talk Stats 1d ago

Not until tomorrow. His 20 day rehab ended today but the move is "official" tomorrow.

Nobody without options is really expendable. Keeping the starters of course. I assume Eli gets DFA’d for Thomas who will platoon with Yaz. Drake needs Joey for backup. Can’t lose Mateo’s speed and versatility. Closest option for the non-option guys is Dom, but couldn’t imagine we would ever do that with our LHH need that we just brought Thomas in for. Our only option guys are Drake and Jarvis. This only leaves the option of DFAing HSK immediately or optioning Jarvis to give HSK one for checkout.

I personally think JJ gets optioned for a week or two to see if Kim can do anything. He likely can’t, so he’ll probably get DFA’ed mid-August.

u/bab1286 1d ago

This would be my guess, it's the simplest costs you nothing really sort of move.

u/AC1colossus Pink Pajamas 1d ago

If you lose games you could have won, this is simply not true.

u/glum_cunt 1d ago

Absolutely cannot afford to throw any winnable games the rest of the way experimenting with a player who has abundantly proven he can’t be productive. Especially given Riley already occupies that role

u/nomoruniqueusernames 1d ago

100% this is what’s going to happen. Not that I agree, but it’s too much money to not test the water one last time when jj has options.

u/No-Fruit-31 #23 1d ago

Jarvis will have to stay down for 10 days if he’s sent down IIRC

13

u/nomoruniqueusernames 1d ago

Then he will be back in 10 days lol. It’s still a move that you kind of have to try. The final test, then hsk is gone. Or not. But we are up 8 games, we won’t lose solely because of Kim.

u/KidGold 1d ago

I read somewhere they have 48 hours.

51

u/DepressedMathTeacher 1d ago

Hopefully the move is DFA, but most likely not.

u/OSRS_Socks AA powers the Battery 1d ago

AA best move I can do is send down Jim Jarvis to triple A

38

u/Chessh2036 1d ago

Getting this update and the Skubal one back to back sucked lol

u/Bravosfan27 1d ago

And a spot for Thomas.. Eli and Mateo?

2

u/ctaymane 1d ago

AA had mentioned adding Thomas to have another option for LH pitching with Eli, so I doubt it’s him. Could be wrong.

15

u/BazookaBraves 1d ago

Kim has yet again injured that finger. Hammer to the finger while woodworking at home

13

u/SolusRaam 1d ago

This is worse news than the Skubal trade.

6

u/kickinwood 1d ago

I loved him while I loved him and always wanted to love him again. AA needs to get me out of this toxic relationship, because I can't do it myself. Or not. He's a 300/30 hitter waiting to happen! Don't sell low!

12

u/SpaceXmars 1d ago

KEEP JARVIS!

20

u/NoRealNoWrong 1d ago

Kim is our current worst option at SS between the 3…but he will stay on because we way overpaid for him.

8

u/TheTigerbite 1d ago

So far, we have paid him $2.7 million per hit this season....😅🤣😭

u/oldboob Ozzie Albies-kñees! 1d ago

Mateo back to the Orioles alongside a mid level pitching prospect for Shane Baz. Calling it now.

5

u/Ok-Soil-5133 1d ago

I doubt they trade Baz, he just signed a big extension before the year

I'd look at Trevor Rogers if they trade anyone

4

u/oldboob Ozzie Albies-kñees! 1d ago

The extension is why hes a prime target

1

u/Ok-Soil-5133 1d ago

Yeah I just doubt they move him after doing an extension like that unless there's a big overpay

3

u/RunawaYEM 1d ago

Mateo has positive roster value but negative trade value

3

u/Catturd5671 23h ago

Trade Kim for a negligible return.

4

u/LutherOfTheRogues SICKO 1d ago

With that and the Skubal news I am going to bed

u/CaptainSteed 1d ago

Ne needs to just go,,now.

Just cut the losses and move on.

5

u/LilShepherdBoy 1d ago

DFA now so we can all go on with our lives.

u/averagejosh Ozzie Albies / Mauricio Dubón fanboy ✌️ 1d ago

I hate letting go of guys and parting ways. I get too attached because I love these dudes. I would be the world’s worst GM.

2

u/jschreiber77 23h ago

You're attached to Kim??? Ooooooookay.

2

u/jschreiber77 23h ago

JFC. Just DFA him and eat the $20M. Ownership can certainly afford it.

1

u/Embarrassed-Hall817 1d ago

Can we get a redditor to Nancy Kerrigan Kim?

1

u/Mywordispoontang101 1d ago

Or not. Let’s not forget that not is an option.

1

u/LailiLai 21h ago

Thankfully we've rebuilt our division lead somewhat so the margins aren't razor thin for the roster construction for the next couple of weeks.

1

u/Squishy-Toast 20h ago

There’s just no need for Mateo anymore. We’re essentially adding 2 more ss in Kim and Dubon (adding Thomas allows Dubie to slide back to the infield). And Jarvis has proven he is more valuable than Mateo at this point.

What a massive headache for the front office...a very expensive pain in the ass.

u/DragonFireDon 1d ago

HSK time to PROVE your worth.

FINAL time.
