Why Phillies' interest in Ha-Seong Kim would make for a bad free agent addition
The Phillies' interest in Ha-Seong Kim might be a mistake.
The Philadelphia Phillies have expressed interest in Ha-Seong Kim, a veteran infielder who recently underwent a knee injury. However, adding Kim to the Phillies' roster would be a poor decision, as he doesn't bring any crucial skills or offensive value that the team requires. Kim's 2026 season was negatively impacted by a torn tendon in his middle finger, and even after recovering, it is unlikely he would become a reliable starter or significant contributor.
The Phillies would be better off promoting a minor league option or seeking a cheaper alternative to address their roster needs.
