Breaking News: Texas Rangers Confirm The Departure Of Another Top Experienced Star

Wook-Suk Go, a former Rangers pitcher, is acquired by the Marlins.

Right-hander Shaun Anderson was traded by the Texas Rangers to the Miami Marlins in exchange for cash. According to Craig Mish of The Miami Heard, Miami has designated right-hander Woo-Suk Go for assignment in order to make room on the 40-man roster. The Rangers recently designated Anderson for assignment on Sunday. Following his April minor league contract signing, he was chosen for the team’s roster. The Boston Red Sox selected Anderson in the third round in 2016, and he made his major league debut with the San Francisco Giants in 2019.

Marlins Get Anderson Shaun

In a swing role, Anderson pitched to middling success. In 96 innings over 28 appearances (16 starts), he recorded a 5.44 ERA. Since then, Anderson has struggled in the major leagues, appearing in just 25 games for five different organizations between 2020 and 22. He pitched to a 6.85 ERA during that span. Due of his difficulties in the major leagues, Anderson signed a contract in 2023 with the Korea Baseball Organization’s KIA Tigers. With the team, the right-hander was successful as a starter, going 14 games with a 3.76 ERA. Late in the season, Anderson made his MLB comeback with a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. During his starts with the Phillies Triple-A affiliate, he gave up

28 runs (11 home runs).

With Anderson, the Rangers Took a Chance

Anderson had two appearances for the Rangers when he was added to the roster earlier this month. In 3 1/3 innings, he gave up two runs on six hits, a walk, and three strikeouts, all for a 5.40 ERA. This is Anderson’s last minor league option year. This spares him from having to go through waivers and allows him to play between Miami and Triple-A Jacksonville.

Go, a 25-year-old best reliever in the KBO, entered the Major League Baseball through the posting system. After he signed a two-year, $4.5 million contract, the San Diego Padres promptly severed their relationship with him. In the trade for Luis Arráez, he was traded to the Marlins as a financial counterweight. Since the move, Go has pitched nine innings in Triple-A with a 3.00 ERA. Go can reach 98 mph with his fastball in the KBO, according to scouting reports. According to rumors from the Padres camp, he reached 92–94 mph during spring training.

Given his $4.5 million deal, Go appears to be a lock to make it through waivers should he arrive. Miami can place him on waivers after considering a trade until Tuesday. He’ll probably be assigned to Jacksonville if he clears. Maybe he can work on improving his game there before going back to the majors.
