ByungHo Park has decided to go back home to Korea. He's already signed a deal with a Korean team. And as long as the Twins don't have to pay him for this upcoming season, they are okay with letting him go.
He will go down as failed Asian experiment number two.
And frankly, the Twins don't need him.
The emergence of Escobar at third base, as both an excellent fielder and unexpected home run hitter, means the Twins now have to find roles for both Sano and Vargas on the major league roster. Park would not be in our major league plans if he left or not. He was the third choice on a team that didn't even need two choices.
Good luck to him! And let's see if Vargas and Sano can have good full seasons this year.
It also let's us negotiate freely with the new Japanese prospect Shohei Ohtani, the man I talked about a few days ago. The next Babe Ruth...
The first step is freeing up money and roster space. It looks like the Twins are doing just that.
