In an interview with YouTube after being traded from the San Diego Padres to the Miami Marlins, Ko said, “Rather than saying I don’t want to go back, I have to do something even if I do. I haven’t done anything yet. There is no reason to go back.” He was negative about his return to the KBO League.
After that, he was demoted from Miami Triple-A to Double-A. In an interview with a local TV station, Ko renewed his commitment to the big league.
Ko Woo-seok said, “I will show good performance to Pensacola fans,” adding, “I will do well here and go to the big league.”
Asked what he was trying to prove in Double-A, Ko said, “I was able to come to the U.S. because I pitched well in Korea,” adding, “I am not throwing as well as in the KBO yet. I will show you how to throw better than in the KBO.” 스포츠토토
They say they will not be able to return to KBO because there is no justification to return.
Then, what is the situation of the LG Twins? Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop was quoted as saying, “Honestly, I hope we can come back, but… I hope we can overcome it well.”
I wouldn’t have said that if I really needed to come back.
LG has an outstanding closing pitcher right now. It’s Yoo Young-chan.
As of Tuesday, he has made 22 saves. He also has an earned run average of 2.95. He is effectively saving Ko’s absence.
In this situation, it is a “multi-profit”, but LG does not have to ask Ko Woo-seok to return until he “pursues” him.
It remains to be seen whether Yoo Young-chan will continue to achieve the same performance as now, but LG is expected to maintain its stance that there is nothing urgent.
Ko Woo-seok is also currently struggling in Double A. Attention is focusing on his future after the season. Attention is focusing on how the Miami Marlins will handle the Ko Woo-seok issue. Ko Woo-seok is under contract until next year.
