Former Oakland A’s top prospect Addison Russell will not be returning to the Kiwoom Heroes of the KBO. His career is at a crossroads.
From 2013 through 2015, Addison Russell was considered one of the top prospects in baseball. A consensus top 50 prospect prior to the 2013 season, the one time Oakland A’s farmhand had been considered a top five overall prospect heading into the 2015 campaign.
