The manager and general manager of the LG Twins expressed their delight in welcoming back their former All-Star closer, Go Woo-suk, from his time in the United States. Go made the decision to become a free agent while still in the U.S. after being placed on the Minnesota Twins' designated for assignment list last week, refusing an outright move to the Triple-A level.
Go's representative in Seoul informed the LG Twins of his desire to return and pitch for them once more, following his previous stint from 2017 to 2023 within the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO). General manager Cha Myeong-seok anticipates Go to become an integral part of their pitching staff, although Go will not be eligible for postseason play.
KBO regulations stipulate that players must be on active rosters as of July 31 to compete in postseason games. Cha personally traveled to the United States in late April to convince Go to return home, following his demotion from Triple-A to Double-A. However, Go declined that offer, as he was determined to continue pursuing opportunities in Major League Baseball.
In 2024, Go signed with the San Diego Padres but failed to make an impact at the Major League level.
