Park was largely a bust with the Twins back in 2016-2017, but he returned to Korea in 2018 and proved to have a couple more monstrous KBO seasons left in the tank. Having turned 35 years old this past summer, he'll presumably ride out the remainder of his playing career in his native country.

Park spent just two years with the Twins, before deciding to re-join his old club in Korea. He played in Triple-A Rochester during the 2017 season, batting .253 with 14 home runs and 60 RBI in 419 at-bats. Park will likely enjoy greater success in Korea, smashing 52 and 53 home runs in the two years he played for Nexen.

Park looked set to begin the season as Minnesota's DH after hitting six home runs with a 1.159 OPS in spring training. He failed to make the roster and was sent to Triple-A in a decision that was controversial at the time but looks like the right call given his struggles in the minors. With two years left on a four-year, $12 million deal it would seem likely that the Twins would try to trade him or that he would ask for a buyout and return to South Korea. However, this report would appear to indicate Park is set to remain in the U.S.

Park was out the lineup for Monday's minor-league season finale, so he'll finish the year at Rochester with a .253/.308/.415 line in 111 games.
