San Diego signed KBO star Sung Mun Song to a four-year, $15MM contract, with plans for a versatile role that may include outfield opportunities, despite his lack of experience there. Manager Craig Stammen emphasized finding ways to utilize Song’s bat, who has played various infield positions and excelled recently, hitting .340 with 19 home runs and 21 stolen bases in 2024. With Manny Machado secured at third base and uncertainty at first and second, Song may have the advantage in a competitive infield. The Padres’ outfield is solidified, yet Stammen drew parallels to the Dodgers’ adaptable players, hinting at Song’s potential multi-position contributions.
