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.

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.
