As a result, the Padres now have 30 days to negotiate a contract with Kim, or he will return to pitch in the KBO in 2015. Melvin Rowan is representing Kim, and he has been a well-respected and known agent for big league players for years. Friars On Base reported earlier today, that the team could use Kim out of the bullpen in 2015, while he learns to pitch to big league hitters and lower his walk rate.
