The Detroit Tigers have reportedly traded reliever Go Woo-suk to the Minnesota Twins, putting the Korean pitcher on the verge of a major league debut.
MLive Media Group's Evan Woodbery tweeted Sunday (U.S. local time) that the Twins were getting Go in exchange for cash consideration. Per Dan Hayes of The Athletic, Go, who had not been on the Tigers' 40-man roster, has an assignment clause in his contract and must now be added to the Twins' roster. He is expected to join the Twins on Tuesday.
Go, 27, has been pitching well in the minors for the Tigers. He posted a 0.66 ERA in eight outings in Double-A and then put up a 2.60 ERA in 19 appearances, covering 27 2/3 innings, in Triple-A.
Across those two levels, Go has recorded 54 strikeouts in 41 1/3 innings.
