Sung-Mun Song Set for Utility Role in San Diego
San Diego Padres infielder Sung-Mon Song said that he's been told that he'll work at third base, second base, first base, and maybe some outfield as he enters his first major-league season, according to Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan. The Padres signed the 29-year-old to a four-year, $15 million contract in December after he mostly played the hot corner in the Korean Baseball Organization for the Kiwoom Heroes. The Friars are set at third with All-Star Manny Machado, obviously, so Song is expected to bounce around as a super-utility guy in 2026. He could also compete for playing time at designated hitter with newcomer Miguel Andujar. Song came on strong the last two years in Korea and displayed more power at the plate, but it remains to be seen how it'll translate to MLB. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting much as Song transitions to better competition.
