LG Twins sign ex-closer Go Woo-suk following brief MLB stint

The LG Twins have signed former All-Star closer Go Woo-suk for the remainder of the Korean baseball season, following the pitcher's brief stint in Major League Baseball (MLB). The club announced the deal, revealing that Go will earn 150 million won ($109,350) for the KBO campaign, which is due to conclude on October 7. In his return to the LG Twins, Go will wear his familiar No. 19 jersey.

Go's journey with the club began in 2017, and he served as their closer from 2019 to 2023. During that five-season span, the right-hander recorded 139 saves, a record for any closer in the KBO over that period. In 2024, Go signed with the San Diego Padres but never made it to MLB. On Wednesday, he informed the LG Twins of his desire to return to the team, which is currently in need of additional bullpen assistance.
