Good morning Mets fans!
The San Diego Padres continued to rebuild their bullpen. With a number of their top relievers in free agency, San Diego is close to adding South Korean reliever Woo Suk Go, who could serve as the teams closer. The deal was first reported by Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
The 25-year-old has pitched in parts of seven seasons with the Korean Baseball Organization. He has operated as the closer for the LG Twins for the past five seasons. In four of those five seasons, Go has had an ERA below 4.00.
Go had a record of 3-8, an ERA of 3.68, 15 saves, and 59 strikeouts in 44 innings last season.
