Fails to find MLB deal
Na failed to reach a deal with an MLB club prior to the end of his posting window and will return to Korea for the 2021 season, SPOTV reports.
ANALYSIS
Na seemingly picked the right time to try to make the jump, as he's coming off a campaign in which he hit .324 with 34 homers and 112 RBI. The depressed market due to the COVID-19 pandemic appears to have hurt his chances, however, as teams seemingly didn't want to commit money to a relative unknown who may be nothing more than a platoon bat with so many top MLB free agents still unsigned. Na could give it another go in a year if he has another strong season, but he'll be 32 then so the dream could well be over.
