Go Woo-seok, 26, of the Miami Marlins, who has been a top closer in the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) and challenged for a spot in the Major League Baseball (MLB), is facing the prospect of having to give up his quest for the big leagues.
“The Marlins today acquired right-hander Shawn Anderson from the Texas Rangers for cash considerations and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville,” Miami said in a statement. The team also designated right-hander Woo-Seok Ko for assignment (DFA-designated for assignment),” the organization announced. The designation comes less than a month after he was traded to Miami from the San Diego Padres.
Designated for assignment is the process of releasing a player who is no longer needed by a team. Once a player is designated for assignment, the team has seven days to execute one of four options: release, trade, demote to the minors, or place on waivers. 스포츠토토 If another team makes an offer, he can move to that team, but if no takers come forward, he has the option of staying with Miami’s minor league affiliate or leaving as a free agent.
In effect,
Miami is saying that they have no intention of letting him play in the majors, so they will either release him or change his status to a minor leaguer. After playing for LG until last year and signing a two-year, $4.5 million (no options or incentives) deal with the San Diego Padres in January through the non-posting system, he was traded to Miami, and it’s unlikely he’ll find a team to take over his contract.
If he chooses to be demoted to the minors, he can still pick up the remaining $4.5 million in salary through 2025. If he elects free agency and leaves the team, he will not be eligible for the remaining salary. In effect, it would mean a return to LG in the KBO.
After struggling in exhibition games before this season, Go Woo-seok traveled to the MLB’s Seoul Series at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul in March, but did not make the opening roster against the San Diego Padres, and was traded from San Diego to Miami earlier this month.
Despite throwing back-to-back scoreless innings in his last two games at Triple-A, Miami apparently decided he wasn’t ready for the majors. 토토사이트 순위 His fastball recently topped out at 95.7 mph (154 km/h) and averaged 93.3 mph (150 km/h), suggesting that he’s not quite up to par.
Anderson, who was sent to Triple-A Jacksonville to replace Koo, is an outfielder who played for the KIA last year. He went 4-7 with a 3.76 ERA in 14 games for the Kia last year and was released by the organization midway through the season after pitching below expectations.
