Romak was mashing with Triple-A El Paso, posting a 1.192 OPS in 25 games with the Chihuahuas, and it seems the Padres opted to sell high on the 31-year-old. No word on how long he'll spend in Korea has emerged as of now, but there's a good chance he'll get a decent amount of playing time in the hitter-friendly environment.

Romak was off to an incredible start with Triple-A El Paso, slashing .347/.392/.800 with 11 homers and 25 RBI through 25 games before landing on the inactive list. It's unclear how long he will be away, though he will be out for a minimum of three games.

Romak is a 31-year old career minor leaguer that will continue that trend in 2017. Romak has actually been pretty average throughout his career, hitting just .255 in the minor leagues.

Romak is coming back from a season playing in Japan, but did not actually distinguish himself across the Pacific. The 31-year old outfielder is being signed as organizational depth. He has a scant total of 39 plate appearance at the MLB level to date, going 6 for 36, although he has shown some pop in his bat at the Triple-A level.
