Pitcher Go Woo-suk becomes free agent with possible reunion with ex-KBO team looming
SEOUL, Sept. 1 (Yonhap) -- South Korean pitcher Go Woo-suk has become a free age...
Korean baseball pitcher Go Woo-suk has become a free agent after rejecting a return to the minor leagues with the Minnesota Twins. The Twins informed Go on Monday that he had elected free agency over a second assignment with their Triple-A team, the St. Paul Saints. Following their designation of Go for assignment on Friday, players can be traded or placed on irrevocable waivers within seven days.
If a player clears waivers, meaning no team claims him from the list, they may be sent to the minors or released, becoming a free agent. As the regular trade deadline had passed, Go waited to see if any team would claim him from waivers. After no team did, the Twins attempted to send him back to St. Paul. However, a player who has been outrighted before, like Go, has the option to refuse a minor-league assignment and immediately become a free agent.
Go's previous assignment by the Miami Marlins in May 2024 allowed him to exercise this right. Go's free agency now presents the possibility of a reunion with his former KBO League team.
