done deal, atlanta braves confirm a $49 Million Star Infielder officially agreed to sign with Braves

The Atlanta Braves  officially signed a $49 million star infielder.   free-agent infielder Ha-Seong Kim, is projected to command a contract in the vicinity of $49 million. Analysts suggest that Kim’s defensive versatility and on-base skills could make him a valuable addition to the Braves’ infield, potentially providing an upgrade over current options.

In recent developments, the Braves have signed outfielder Jurickson Profar to a three-year, $42 million contract. Profar, 31, had a standout season with the San Diego Padres, posting a .280 batting average with 24 home runs and 85 RBIs. His addition is expected to bolster the Braves’ outfield, especially with Ronald Acuña Jr. recovering from a torn ACL.

Additionally, the Braves have signed infielder José Devers to a minor league deal. Devers, 25, is a former top prospect for the Miami Marlins and the cousin of Boston Red Sox star Rafael Devers. While he has limited major league experience, the Braves hope he can provide infield depth and potentially contribute at the big-league level.

These moves indicate the Braves’ strategy to strengthen their roster through both major signings and depth acquisitions as they prepare for the upcoming season.
