The Milwaukee Brewers might be able to land a San Diego Padres defensive standout at shortstop if Willy Adames leaves.
One of the biggest questions regarding the Milwaukee Brewers offseason is shortstop Willy Adames' decision on where to play in the upcoming years, but the club may have a solid replacement should he choose to leave."However, Kim hit just .233 with 11 home runs and 22 stolen bases before going on the injured list," The Athletic's Jim Bowden wrote Thursday.
Kim hit .233 with 30 extra-base hits including 11 home runs, 47 RBIs and a .700 OPS in 121 games this season. The 29-year-old has a mutual option for the 2025 season, which Bowden predicts Kim and the Padres won't reach an agreement on -- placing him on the market this winter.the shortstop will receive a deal for around four years, $50 million which the Brew Crew could look to capitalize on. The aforementioned pillow contract would make it even easier for Milwaukee to get in the mix.
Currently, the plan is to move third baseman Joey Ortiz from the hot corner to shortstop but if Kim is available -- the 2023 National League Gold Glove winner at shortstop -- Milwaukee should send an offer.Stephen Mottram joined "Milwaukee Brewers On SI" to bring some fun and thoughtful coverage to the site.
