Song Sung-mun Nears Padres Deal as Kiwoom’s Posting Haul Grows

Francys Romero reported Song agreed to three years, $13M with the Padres, pending a physical. The Kiwoom infielder broke out in 2024-25 and would become the club’s sixth MLB export, after Kang, Park, Kim, and Lee. Under posting rules, a $13M guarantee brings a 20% fee, about $2.6M, pushing Kiwoom’s haul near $47M, per OSEN, if finalized.
