The Pittsburgh Pirates may have to do without Jung Ho Kang this season as the infielder was denied a visa to the United States after being sentenced to eight months in prison earlier this month.
Though the sentence was suspended two years – and may disappear entirely if he behaves over that time span – he has been arrested three times for DUI in South Korea over the years.
The Pirates placed Kang on the restricted list earlier this month, an indication that they at least expected him to miss the start of the regular season.
His status for the upcoming MLB season remains murky at best as a result of this development.
