The San Diego Padres outfield is expected to feature Ramon Laureano, Jackson Merrill, and Fernando Tatis Jr. in 2026, with infielder Sung Mun Song potentially joining as a utility player. After impressive offensive seasons, Song, who signed a four-year, $15M contract, may be transitioned to the outfield despite lacking prior experience. His role could increase if infielder Jake Cronenworth is traded, as the Padres aim to maximize Song’s bat in their lineup.
