Braves Named Potential Landing Spot for SS Upgrade

The Atlanta Braves' transition to Orlando Arcia at shortstop after the departure of Dansby Swanson worked very well for one season. But it didn't look like such a great move in its second year, and a lot of baseball analysts have argued the Braves shouldn't give Arcia a third season.

On Tuesday, Bleacher Report's Tim Kelly ranked Atlanta as one of the top five potential landing spots for free agent shortstop Ha-Seong Kim.

"Though he hit 17 home runs, Arcia batted just .218. He posted just a 73 OPS+, well below the league average of 100," Kelly wrote.
