The Padres had a busy week as they managed to bring back right-hander Michael King on a multi-year deal, but also added some depth in the infield with Sung-mun Song on Friday.
Song, 29, has played the past nine seasons of his pro career in South Korea with the Kiwoom Heroes. In that time frame, he slashed .283/.347/.431 with a .779 OPS. The truth is, he is a more well-rounded version of Luis Arráez, as his defense and baserunning made him intriguing to MLB teams when he was first posted.
While it may seem like a small move, this could impact how ambitious the Padres are for the rest of the offseason, specifically when looking at the infield.
