Where is Byung-ho Park going?

UPDATE:  One report out of Korea is claiming the winning bidder is Minnesota.  I'm not marking off the others until this is confirmed.  This has now been confirmed by multiple national writers.  The Twins weren't considered likely candidates, as the combination of Mauer at 1B and Plouffe at 3B is already displacing top rookie Miguel Sano, a 3B, to DH.  As with the Rangers, the addition of Park will likely necessitate one or more trades.

As Park is the greatest lottery ticket buy since Tanaka*, I'll update news here.

It's tenuously down to six five four one clubs:  Phillies, Brewers, Reds, Cubs, White Sox, and Twins.

*Not the greatest "win".  That would be the Pirates winning bid for Jung-ho Kang.  For a five million dollar bid and $11 million over four years, they got a guy who could have won rookie of the year at shortshop.  In a year that included Correa and Sano and Lindor debuting.
