New plan
- South Korean pitcher Ko Woo-seok became a free agent after the Minnesota Twins designated him for assignment and released him from their organization.
- His return to his former team, the LG Twins, now appears increasingly likely after a planned return fell through in July.
Ko Woo-seok’s return to the KBO League appears increasingly likely after the pitcher declared free agency with the Triple-A St. Paul Saints.
The Minnesota Twins had designated him for assignment before his release. The move removes an obstacle to a return to his former club, the LG Twins.
Ko had already been preparing to return to LG in July, but a sudden trade to Minnesota kept him in the United States. He now appears poised to come back to the Seoul-based team after three years.
