According to Sung Min Kim, formerly of The Athletic, Korean outfielder Sung-Bum Na will return to the KBO after failing to reach an agreement with a major-league team, per an SPOTV report.
Na hoped to make the jump to the major leagues after being posted last month, but will return for a ninth season with the NC Dinos after his posting period came to an end. He’s the latest high-profile foreign star unable to reach a deal with a big-league club this offseason. The power-hitting 31-year-old outfielder owns an impressive career .317/.384/.542 triple-slash line, which includes a robust 2020 campaign in which he hit .324/.390/.596 with 34 homers and 112 RBI over 130 games.
