Padres Keep Adding

Reports put Korean star Ha-seong Kim on the Padres roster:

The versatile Kim primarily played shortstop and third base in the KBO, and it is unclear where he would play with the Padres, who already have superstars Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado at shortstop and third base, respectively.

I would think off hand that Kim might fit at second base, giving the Padres a chance to flip Jake Cronenworth. Cronenworth showed little power in the minors, so maybe San Diego can get a deal given his good 2020 season. Kim would also provide some insurance in case Tommy Pham fails to return from his stabbing injury.

    And now Darvish? Do the Padres sense a weakness in the NL West that they can take advantage of? Awful lot of cheap prospects they are trading away.
