    Asked if he thought he had potentially played his final game for the Padres, Kim said: “I haven’t been really able to focus on that. … All I can say is I think the San Diego Padres have a legitimate chance to win it all, and the fans have been wanting their World Series trophy for a long time. But anything can happen in the future, so we’ll see.

  2. “Obviously, San Diego’s a huge part of me, because this is my fourth season with them, and along those four years we’ve fought to get that World Series trophy every year and made great memories. The team almost feels like family to me now, and I think we have a big chance to win the whole thing this year. And although I won’t be with the team on the field, I’ll be supporting them with all my heart throughout this ride in the fall.”

  4. If he’s not after the money, and chooses happiness? He’d accept the option, and rehab. 8m coming back from shoulder surgery isn’t a bad deal..

    If he’s about money? He’ll decline it.

    We’re about to learn a lot about where his head’s at.
