Attention is focusing on Yasiel Puig’s destination.
Puig recently announced that he was leaving his team, La Guaira, Venezuela. Puig was participating in the Venezuelan Winter League, which began last October.
However, he did not reveal his destination. Some media outlets said Puig will return to the KBO League. There were also reports that he will play for the Kiwoom Heroes.
However, Kiwoom reportedly said it was not in the contract stage, saying, “I only asked how you are doing.”
Puig has been silent about where his destination is after throwing a farewell message to La Guaira fans.
Let’s take a look at Puig’s message. “Due to the issue of a 2025 contract offer that was already in progress when I signed here (La Guaira) again (Puig also played for La Guaira in the 2023-2024 season), the new team asked me to quit my career (in Venezuela) this winter to prepare for a new path,” he said. The Spanish word nuevo means “new” and “fresh.”
And he added, “This was a very difficult but necessary decision at this point in my life.” 토토사이트
When Puig signed with La Guaira, someone had already offered him a contract for the 2025 season. It could be Kiwoom, it could be another KBO League club, or an Asian League club, not KBO.
However, he said, “A new path from the new team.” Kiwoom is not a new team. Returning to the KBO is also not a new path. Kiwoom reportedly said Puig said he is receiving attention from Asian league teams. It is possible that it is not a KBO league club.
Nevertheless, U.S. media continue to publish articles on Puig’s return to KBO. LA Dodgers on SI said on the 11th (Korea time) that Puig will return to the KBO league. However, it did not mention which club it was.
Kiwoom is said to have a right to hold Puig until 2027. If Puig wants to go to a club other than Kiwoom, Kiwoom must release the right to hold.
Kiwoom, another club, or a Taiwanese or Japanese club. Where is Puig going? Fans are wondering.
