Pirates infielder Jung Ho Kang has been reinstated from the restricted list and optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis after missing last season and the first part of this year because of visa issues.
The 31-year-old Kang was unable to secure a work visa to travel from his native South Korea to the United States after he was arrested for DUI for a third time in December 2016 in Seoul. He received an eight-month suspended prison sentence.
Fridayâs move is primarily procedural Tony Dorsett Jersey , since Kang already has played in 11 minor league games. He was cleared to travel to the U.S. on April 27.
Kang went 1 for 15 in his first four games for Indianapolis after batting .417 (10 for 24) in seven games for high Class A Bradenton.
Kang finished third in the 2015 NL Rookie of the Year voting after becoming the first native South Korean position player to make the jump from the Korea Baseball Organization to the major leagues. He hit .287 with 15 homers in 126 games that season, and then .255 with 21 homers in 103 games in 2016.
Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said there is no timetable for when Kang might be called up.
âHe needs to play games,â Hurdle said. âHe needs to have a real spring training
Bears coach Matt Nagy explained on Saturday that âvery fewâ contracts protect players against having their future guarantees voided by a suspension arising from on-field misconduct. He may be right, but other players definitely have that protection Tarik Cohen Jersey , and itâs smart for more and more to try to do the same.
Itâs also smart for more and more teams to provide that protection.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Roc Nation has secured this term in the contracts recently signed by Giants running back Saquon Barkley and Rams running back Todd Gurley. Given the position they play, a real possibility exists of being flagged, fined DJ Chark Jersey , ejected, and/or suspended for dropping their helmets and initiating contact while running between the tackles, or for using any portion of their helmets to butt, spear Aaron Donald Jersey , or ram an opponent who is trying to tackle them. Especially since no one knows how aggressively the new helmet rules will or wonât be enforced.
Given that Smithâs four-year contract is fully guaranteed, and given that he plays linebacker, why shouldnât he want that protection? Itâs one thing to have guarantees wiped out due to off-field misbehavior. Itâs quite another to risk forfeiting guarantees for simply doing what the coaching staff wants him to do.
So the Bears should budge on this one. Given that the Giants and Rams (wisely) already have, the Bears and all other teams should follow suit.
