Shin-Soo Choo will retire following the 2024 season.
There were rumblings last offseason that Choo was considering a return to the majors, but he’s spent the last three years in Korea playing for the SSG Landers. The 41-year-old outfielder spent 16 seasons in the majors between the Rangers, Guardians, Mariners and Reds.
Shin-Soo Choo has re-signed with the SSG Landers of the Korea Baseball Organization for the 2023 season.
It was thought that Choo wanted to return to the U.S. a year ago after spending 2021 in South Korea, but the lockout caused him to stay home. There weren't really any such rumors of a return to MLB this time around for the 40-year-old. Choo last played in MLB with the Rangers in 2020. He hit .259/.382/.430 with 16 homers for the Landers last season.
Shin-Soo Choo has re-signed a one-year, $2.3 million contract with the SSG Landers of the Korea Baseball Organization.
There were some rumblings that Choo was interested in returning to the majors earlier this offseason, but wound up re-signing for another season in Korea. The 39-year-old veteran outfielder, who recently underwent elbow surgery, appeared in 136 games for the Landers last season, hitting .263/.409/.450 with 21 homers and 25 stolen bases.
Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports that former big-league outfielder Shin-Soo Choo is hoping to return to the major leagues this offseason.
Speier adds that Choo is hoping to land a major-league deal and will likely remain in Korea for another season if he's unable to do so. The 39-year-old outfielder slashed .263/.409/.450 with 21 homers and 25 stolen bases across 580 plate appearances with the SK Wyverns in the KBO last season.
