Former Cubs star Addison Russell will not return to the Kiwoom Heroes of the KBO.
Several years ago, it looked like Addison Russell was going to be a star. However, his career took a big tumble, to the point where the Cubs non-tendered him last offseason and he signed with the Kiwoom Heroes of the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO). There was at least some hope that he could resurrect his career there and eventually come back to the states.
However, that didn’t work out either, as the Heroes have announced that they will not be bringing Russell back in 2021.
