Key players behind Lions' Korean Series title run headline list of potential free agents

Two stars who played key roles in the Samsung Lions' run to the Korean Series title this month headlined the list of players eligible for free agency in Korean baseball, the top league office announced Friday. The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) said 28 players are eligible for free agency this offseason. According to the league, 15 players are eligible for free agency for the first time, while six players will hit the open market for the second or third time in their careers. Another seven players had been eligible last year but chose not to exercise their rights then, making them eligible again this winter. The two biggest names belong to the Lions, with their veteran starter Won Tae-in and captain Koo Ja-wook on the list. Koo, 33, was voted the Korean Series MVP after batting 10-for-20 with a home run and six RBIs in a five-game victory over the KT Wiz. He has reportedly hired U.S.-based agent Jaron Long in pursuit of a major league opportunity, but the Lions are also expected to try to keep their franchise star around for a few more years.

KBO star Koo Ja-wook hires US agent in pursuit of MLB opportunity: report

Samsung Lions star Koo Ja-wook has hired a U.S.-based agent in pursuit of a major league contract this offseason, a report said Friday. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com tweeted Koo has hired Jaron Long of Mako Corp. to represent him as the 33-year-old outfielder seeks a jump from the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) to Major League Baseball. Koo is fresh off winning the Korean Series MVP award after helping his Lions win their first KBO championship in 12 years. Koo batted 10-for-20 with a home run and six RBIs as the Lions knocked off the KT Wiz in five games in the Korean Series, even as he was playing through lingering effects of a hamstring injury. In the regular season, Koo won his first career batting title with a .371 mark and led everyone with a .458 on-base percentage. Koo also ranked among the KBO leaders in hits, doubles, RBIs and runs. In 1,466 career games, Koo has a lifetime batting average of .322 — the fourth-best mark in league history among those with at least 3,000 plate appearances — along with 201 home runs and 984 RBIs.

Manchester United hire former Mauricio Pochettino as head coach

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. — Mauricio Pochettino was hired as Manchester United's head coach on Friday, agreeing to leave his job with the U.S. national team to take on the challenge of reviving the fortunes of English football's once dominant force. Just three months after announcing a contract to lead the Americans through the 2030 World Cup , the U.S. Soccer Federation said Pochettino will depart next next week for Old Trafford. The 20-time English champion is in the relegation zone after 10 games of the Premier League season. He will take over ahead of the Nov. 22 match at Liverpool, becoming United's eighth permanent coach or manager since club great Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 . United announced the hiring of the 54-year-old Argentine one day after firing Michael Carrick , who led the team to one Premier League win, five draws and four losses for its worst league start in 40 years. It is 18th in England's 20-team top division. Pochettino and his assistants will remain with the U.S. team for the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals against Haiti on Saturday and Tuesday.
