Criticized and Departed Plouffe Recommended Carrasco... MLB 112-Win Pitcher, Why Did He Come to Korea? 'Heard a Lot About Fans' Passionate Support'

The LG Twins have bolstered their pitching rotation with the signing of veteran Major League Baseball pitcher Carlos Carrasco. The 36-year-old right-hander, who boasts 112 career MLB wins, officially debuted for the Twins on July 28 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, donning his new uniform.

Carrasco's arrival comes as the Twins opted to release their previous foreign relief pitcher, Rioz, at the start of the second half of the season. The team moved swiftly to secure Carrasco, agreeing to a contract worth $360,000 on July 22. Carrasco, who began his professional career in 2003 with the Philadelphia Phillies and debuted in MLB with the Cleveland Indians in 2007, brings a wealth of experience to the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) league.

Despite his extensive MLB background, Carrasco expressed enthusiasm for his new chapter in Korea. He cited the passionate support of the fans as a significant draw, mentioning that he had heard many positive accounts of their energy and dedication. This move marks a significant shift for the pitcher, who is looking to contribute his skills to the Twins' campaign in the KBO.

The signing of Carrasco is a strategic move by the LG Twins as they aim to strengthen their team for the remainder of the season. His experience and proven track record in one of the world's top baseball leagues are expected to provide a substantial boost to the team's performance and competitive edge.
