The next destination for the KBO rescue king, Go Yoo-sik, has been confirmed! He will join the Detroit Tigers' Triple-A team.

Former LG Twins closer Go Yoo-sik signed a two-year, $4.5 million contract with the Padres last year, but was traded to the Marlins due to unsatisfactory performance.He was released by the Miami Marlins last week, and there were rumors of his return to the KBO. However, today brings good news: Go Yoo-sik has signed a minor league contract with the Detroit Tigers and will start from their Triple-A team to continue his dream of reaching the Major Leagues. To date, he has not yet stepped onto a Major League mound in his two seasons in the U.S.

Go Yoo-sik suffered a right hand fracture during offseason training and did not return until the end of May this season. He has appeared in five games in Triple-A, pitching 5.2 innings with an impressive ERA of just 1.59, but he is clearly not part of the Marlins' future plans, leading to his release.

Upon joining the Tigers, he will mainly compete for a spot in the bullpen. Currently, the bullpen has an overall ERA of 3.81, ranking 10th among the 15 teams in the American League, which is not impressive. If Go Yoo-sik can seize the opportunity and perform well, he may have a chance to return to the Major League stage in the future.

The Tigers currently sit at the top of the American League Central with a record of 49 wins and 30 losses, holding an 8.5-game lead over the second-place Cleveland Guardians, providing them with more flexibility in their roster management.
