The Tampa Bay Rays reportedly have their next shortstop.
ESPN's Jeff Passan reported Wednesday that the American League East team agreed to a two-year, $29 million contract with Ha-Seong Kim. The deal includes an opt-out after the first year.
Passan noted Kim is recovering from shoulder surgery but is expected to return to the field in May.
The 29-year-old spent the first four seasons of his career on the San Diego Padres and brings a versatile skill set to Tampa Bay.
One of the first things that jumps out is his glove, as he has experience at shortstop, second base and third base and was effective at all three positions.
