Tigers Trade Woo‑Suk Go To Twins

An assignment clause in his minor‑league deal forces Minnesota to add the Korean reliever to its active roster, making his MLB debut likely.

Overview

  • The Detroit Tigers sent Triple‑A right‑hander Woo‑Suk Go to the Minnesota Twins for cash consideration in a trade reported Sunday.
  • Go’s contract contains an upward‑mobility clause that requires the Twins to place him on their active roster, and local reports say he was expected to be added for the Tuesday game at Target Field.
  • The 27‑year‑old was strong at Triple‑A Toledo this season with about 32 strikeouts in 27 2/3 innings and a roughly 2.60 ERA after earlier time at Double‑A Erie.
  • Detroit moved Go as a procedural decision to convert an inevitable roster outcome into cash, and the Tigers made a similar cash trade of RHP Matt Seelinger to the Mets under the same kind of clause.
  • If he appears for Minnesota this week, Go would join the small group of South Korean players in MLB and provide immediate relief help to a Twins bullpen that has struggled this season.
