Kang released from winter ball team

Jung Ho Kang’s return to the Pittsburgh Pirates has taken yet another hit. Kang has reportedly been released from his winter ball team in the Dominican Republic. Kang was batting well below .200 with just one home run and two doubles. He was leading the team in errors. The third baseman missed the 2017 season when he could not secure a work visa to play in the United States after his third DUI conviction in his home country of South Korea.
