Jung Ho Kang played for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the last few years with a great deal of controversy around him. Kang had a rap sheet to make him almost untouchable. In 2016, Kang got accused of sexual assault where charges were dropped after the accuser would not cooperate with the police. Later in 2016, Kang had a high-speed DUI in his home country of South Korea. This was his third DUI and received a denial on his work visa to the United States. Pittsburgh ended their relationship with Kang earlier this year. Milwaukee Brewers apparently have brought Kang into their organization in a move that they bothered to tell absolutely no one about. Joe Alexander, a San Antonio journalist, spotted him with the San Antonio Missions. This raises a lot of questions from the Brewers as it looks completely shady.

This is not a great PR thing for the Brewers given Kang’s issues with alcohol. He appears to be a problem child with the Pirates, and Milwaukee thinks that he is likely sober. Yet why did they fly this under the radar of everyone? None of the Milwaukee Brewers’ media know about this transaction. They usually let the media know that they bring a player like Kang. They added Tyler Austin, a long-time journeyman outfielder, who had stints with Minnesota, New York, and San Francisco, and that was all over the media. Like most things in life when you try to sneak things versus being upfront, it makes things look so much worse.

My assumption is the Brewers will make a comment regarding Kang on Friday as this story continues to be a thing.

Charlie.
