Report: Loons to send two players to St. Louis
Minnesota United will send two players to St. Louis, according to a report from GiveMeSport on Sunday.
Winger/wingback Sang Bin Jeong will leave on a permanent move to St. Louis, while defender Devin Padelford will head out on a loan, according to Tom Bogert. Neither player were on the 20-man team for MNUFC’s 4-1 win over San Jose at Allianz Field on Saturday.
Both transactions come ahead of the summer transfer window, which opens July 24.
Jeong, a South Korean who recently acquired his U.S. Green Card, has struggled in front of goal this season.
In his first season in Minnesota, Jeong had two goal contributions (one goal, one assist) in 962 minutes in 2023. He more productive in 2024 with six goals and one assist in 2,171 minutes last season, but didn’t get on the score sheet in 319 MLS minutes this year.
Jeong has bounced between wingback and forward during his last two years in Minnesota and that factored into his inconsistency.
Padelford, a homegrown player from Maplewood, has struggled to crack the first team this year.
