Shin-Soo Choo Pulls “The LeBron” On Cleveland
(Shin-Soo Choo, Just Because You're Not From America Doesn't Mean You Can't Be An American-Sized Pain-In-The-Ass)
In what is becoming a prevalent trend in professional sports, everyone wants to get the fuck out of Cleveland. Fast.
In fact, Indians right fielder Shin-Soo Choo told The Korea Times, “ As with other players, I also want to transfer to a team which wins more. If I could move to a better team, I could generate a better record and improve more.”
Perhaps Mr. Choo should have thought of that before the made a deal with Cleveland that leaves three years remaining on his contract. But since Choo is eligible for arbitration this offseason, he will command more money. Expect his $461,000 salary to rise significantly. With Choo’s significant contributions necessary for the lackluster Cleveland offense, the Indians will most certainly try and sign him to a long-term contract to make him happy. Either that or Choo can return to Korea to serve his mandatory two years of military service as required by the Korean government. Good times.
Since the situation in Korea is so fucking awesome right now, he should probably reconsider whether being stuck in the military in third world-esqe Korea is preferable to sitting his ass in dumpy Cleveland, getting paid a shit boat load of money, and playing for a mediocre to potentially quite horrendous ball club.
But like an abused wife, I think true Cleveland fans are now numb to the pain and suffering
