In addition, “El Caballo” already completed his quarantine days when he arrived in Korea and joined his team’s Spring Training, to start preparing for the Opening Day of the KBO 2022.
Puig is one of those players with extensive experience in the Major Leagues who will play in the Korean League, looking to have a good participation to see if he can soon mark his return to the best baseball in the world.
