MIAMI — It has been 283 days since Jung Ho Kang last put on a Pirates uniform, and there’s no telling when, or whether, it will happen again.
On Tuesday, Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred and MLBPA executive director Tony Clark said their offices have attempted to aid the Pirates in presenting a solid case for Kang to be granted a United States visa, but they had no update on his situation.
“I don't know the current status of the situation except I know he doesn’t have a visa,” Manfred said in a meeting with BBWAA members.
