Driving back from Santiago to Santo Domingo, Seattle Mariners Director of Dominican Operations Eddy Toledo called his boss, Tim Kissner.
It was January 2017, a full 18 months before the Mariners would eventually sign Julio Rodriguez to a $1.75 million bonus, yet Toledo was sure of the player he d just seen. He said, I just saw a player that I would give every dime in our [international] pool budget for, Kissner said, recalling his conversation with Toledo. And I go, Eddie, we don t even know what that is. We both kind of laughed and he goes, I know but whatever it is, I want to give it to him.

The Padres have reached an agreement to sign free-agent infielder Ha-Seong Kim, reports Dennis Lin of The Athletic (Twitter link). San Diego was reported to be the favorite earlier today. Kim is represented by ISE Baseball.
Kim, 25, became available to MLB clubs earlier this month when his KBO team, the Kiwoom Heroes, posted him for bidding. The Padres will owe a release fee on top of the contract that will be paid directly to the Heroes. That fee will equal 20 percent of the contract’s first $25MM, 17.5 percent of the next $25MM and 15 percent of anything spent thereafter.
