Yonhap<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Less than two weeks after he was posted for Major League Baseball (MLB) clubs, Song Sung-mun said Monday there has been no real progress in talks with big league clubs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">&#8220;The U.S. Thanksgiving holiday just passed, and so there was not much going on recently,&#8221; Song told reporters after receiving the Player of the Year honor at the Real Glove Award ceremony, organized annually by the Korea Professional Baseball Players Association. Song&#8217;s peers voted him as the top player in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) in 2025, after the Kiwoom Heroes third baseman batted .315\/.387\/.530 with 26 home runs, 25 steals and 90 RBIs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Song was posted for MLB clubs, meaning all 30 big league clubs are free to negotiate with him during a designated negotiating period. Song&#8217;s 30-day window closes at 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Dec. 21.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">&#8220;There may be some teams that are interested but there has been no progress,&#8221; Song said. &#8220;I think I may start getting offers after the Winter Meetings. If anyone takes an interest in me, I will take serious consideration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">Song was referring to the annual gathering of MLB executives, agents and media where significant deals are often made. This year&#8217;s Winter Meetings will open Sunday in Orlando, Florida.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">&#8220;I will stay in Korea for now and wait for my agent to contact me,&#8221; said Song, who is represented by ISE Baseball. &#8220;I don&#8217;t have plans to travel to the U.S. at the moment. I will do so once my deal is finalized.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">If Song can&#8217;t land an MLB deal this winter, he may not be posted again until November next year. The 29-year-old hinted last week that this could be his first and also last crack at a move to MLB, considering his age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Song Sung-mun of the Kiwoom Heroes poses with a trophy after being named Player of the Year at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":318025,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-318024","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
