That's what I thought too but I remember they talked about how its up to him if he wanted to come back. They were talking about it during a game last season

Looks like we're getting him

9:18am: Kim is on a flight to the United States this morning, per Jee-ho Yoo of South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency. While Daniel Kim of DKTV and ESPN tweets that Kim is headed to the U.S. to take a physical, that doesn’t mean he’s selected a team just yet. Kim needs to be present to complete a physical prior to his posting window closing, so it makes sense that he’s headed to North America at this time.

Meanwhile, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Blue Jays and Padres are considered to be front-runners for Kim, with the Red Sox still looming as a possible but less-likely destination.

Kim signs with SD I see many Jays fans are disappointed in general but I look at this as a positive assuming they aren’t lying that we are still in on DJ, Lindor and Springer.

Bowden, among others, thought Kim would be our most significant, and possibly only higher end FA signing. Most analysts have DJ and Springer headed to/back to NY teams.

Padres are stacked, will definitely give the dodgers a run for their money now.

If we can’t do better that would be ultra disappointing
Should probably fire both Atkins and Shapiro for being frauds with the way they have been talking.
Lots of better players with resumes are still available in both free agency and trade.
I’m confident they’ll land someone big - time will tell.

Have the rules for postings changed? I thought teams had to pay a posting fee first, and then negotiate to sign? Or am I misremembering how it worked when Darvish came over?
