Woo-Suk Go's debut season in Major League Baseball has been far from what was anticipated.
Woo-Suk Go's first season in Major League Baseball has not gone according to plan. He arrived as one of the top relievers in the KBO in recent years and hasn't exactly survived his first season.Go signed a two-year, $4.5 million contract with the San Diego Padres but they cut ties with him quickly. They sent him to Miami as a part of theMarlins acquired pitcher Shaun Anderson from the Rangers for cash. The Woo-Suk Go brief Marlins era is over. He was DFA’d as the corresponding move.
Scouting reports on Go had his fastball topping out near 98 mph but when he arrived in Arizona for spring training, he averaged between 92 and 94 mph, topping out shy of 95. The plan to have him in the bullpen for high-leverage innings quickly faded and he was sent to Double-A. When he was included in the trade package, it was clear the Padres were less impressed with him and didn't see him as a good fit.
Because of his low salary, he should be a lock to clear waivers if he makes it there. Miami has five days to explore trade possibilities before placing him on waivers becomes a necessity. The waivers process takes 48 hours and if he clears, he would be sent outright to Triple-A Jacksonville.Maren Angus-Coombs was born in Los Angeles and raised in Nashville, Tenn.
