Breaking: This offseason, a Padres star is expected to leave the team.
Unless both parties activate a $8 million mutual option this winter, Gold Glove infielder Ha-Seong Kim will be a free agent. With estimates pointing to a five-year contract for $63 million, Kim is expected to receive a large payout this offseason. Given his versatility in the infield, his Gold Glove defence, and his reliable offensive output, a team is likely to extend that kind of contract to him.
