The results of the Byung-ho Park bidding were revealed today, with the Minnesota Twins announced as the team that won the rights to negotiate with Park. Of course, this also means that the Pirates weren't the winning team, which means they won't have an All-Korean corner infield alignment next year, pairing Park with Jung-ho Kang.
What this ultimately means for the Pirates is that they will have to settle for turning their long-term first base position over to one of the top prospects in the game. Josh Bell was the first baseman of the future for the Pirates heading into the off-season, and nothing has changed after the Twins won the rights to Park.
