The projection doesn’t come out and insult Sung-mun Song — it just shrugs. Steamer treats him like a solid piece, not a roster-defining one. FanGraphs’ 2026 Steamer line has him at 86 games and 323 plate appearances, with a modest .248/.305/.368 slash, a 91 wRC+, and 0.8 WAR. That’s a useful glue guy who might keep the roster from falling apart. And if that’s the San Diego Padres plan, so be it.
The projections also have him showing up more than guys like Tirso Ornelas (32 games) and Will Wagner (54 games) — while not necessarily lapping them in overall value.
