Last night, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Jung Ho Kang found out his sentencing from his third DUI. Kang has received a suspended eight month prison sentence in his native South Korea, and now he is free to join the team in Bradenton.
As long as Kang stays out of legal trouble the next two years he will avoid jail time. This is great news for the Pirates as Kang, once he gets his work visa issued sorted out, will be eligible to play for the team once again. However, more importantly, it is great news for Kang.
