2025-2026 offseason thread

Per Rosenthal:

The Athletics tried for free agent shortstop Ha-Seong Kim, offering him a four-year, $48 million contract with room to grow, according to a person briefed on the discussions. Kim, 30, instead opted for a one-year, $20 million deal with the Atlanta Braves, and the chance to return to the open market next season.

So he was offered at least $48m. Good to know.

Leads me back to question, what’s his contract upside? Obviously 3/$28m is low AAV but is he going to get much more than $28m on his next contract, even if he has a good year? A good year will get him a QO attached which likely lessens the amount a team is willing to pay.

Why did the A's make that offer? Wilson is 23, and he put up 3.5 fWAR for them last season

They were probably gonna move Kim to 2b. If Lim has a bad season or gets hurt again then we won't offer a QO probably and he won't get another long term deal. He'll be motivated this year for sure.

in that case he could just take the QO and he'd have already nearly matched the $48M in two years instead of four
