Phillies target Braves free agent as possible Trea Turner replacement: report
The 31-year-old veteran batted .116 in 2026 but has a Gold Glove Award on his resume.
Veteran infielder Ha-Seong Kim, who batted .116 for the Atlanta Braves in 2026, is entering the free agent market at a low point in his career due to injury and lackluster performance. Despite being a former Gold Glove winner, Kim struggled with 51 games due to a right middle finger injury. The Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly interested in Kim as a potential replacement for veteran Trea Turner, who has faced defensive challenges at shortstop in recent years.
Turner's contract with the Braves, an 11-year, $300 million deal, is seen as a significant investment that might inspire Kim to take a substantial pay cut if he signs with the Phillies.
