Former Los Angeles Dodgers star Yasiel Puig is still waiting to see where he might play this season.

South Korea’s Kiwoom Heroes tried and failed to sign former Los Angeles Dodgers star Yasiel Puig this week, according to a report out of South Korea. The Heroes play in the KBO league, which resumed play in early May in the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic.

“We felt we had a chance to sign him but he decided to give MLB another shot in 2020,” said the Heroes general manager.
