The San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers are likely to play regular-season games in South Korea next year, reports the San Diego Union-Tribune. MLB has not confirmed the news. Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim starred in the Korea Baseball Organization with the Nexen/Kiwoon Heroes franchise from 2014-20 and is one of the country's most popular players.

As part of the new collective bargaining agreement, MLB and the MLBPA agreed to play more regular-season games overseas. The Padres and San Francisco Giants played the first ever regular-season games in Mexico City last weekend, and the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals will play in London next month.
