Ko Woo-seok has returned to South Korea after a short and unsettled spell in Major League Baseball, with the LG Twins preparing to announce his contract.
Ko arrived from the United States on the first day of the month. He played four games in MLB before being sent back to the minor leagues.
Minnesota designated him for assignment on the 29th and then released him. His return gives LG a major late-season boost, while attention now turns to the salary he will receive and when he will make his KBO comeback.
