The LG Twins have announced the signing of their former All-Star closer, Go Woo-suk, for the remainder of the upcoming Korean baseball season. The pitcher's compensation for this stint will be 150 million won ($109,350). The regular season is scheduled to conclude on October 7. Upon returning to the LG Twins' iconic pinstripes, Go will once again wear his signature No. 19 jersey.
He became a free agent earlier this week after being designated for assignment by the Minnesota Twins and subsequently declining an outright assignment to the minor leagues. Before heading back to Korea, Go expressed his desire to join the LG Twins, and the struggling KBO club gladly accepted the 28-year-old's offer. Go first played for the LG Twins from 2017 to 2023, serving as their closer from 2019 onwards.
Over the subsequent five seasons, the right-hander recorded 139 saves, surpassing any other closer in the Korean Baseball Organization during that period. In January 2024, he signed with the San Diego Padres but was unable to make it to Major League Baseball (MLB).
