NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Jim Salisbury reports that the Phillies are eyeing Ha-Seong Kim as a potential free agent fit.

As Salisbury notes, Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski began the offseason by suggesting that shortstop Trea Turner had to improve his defense or move off the position. The only issue is that the Phillies don’t have a natural shortstop on the roster who would be a clear defensive upgrade. That’s where Kim would come in. The 31-year-old won a Gold Glove in 2023, but injuries have hurt his production and availability over the last two seasons. He is unlikely to command a large contract, so he could be an option on a one-year, prove-it deal in Philadelphia.
