NL Central: Jung-Ho Kang has been sentenced in DUI case

Pirates third baseman Jung-Ho Kang has been sentenced to eight months in prison and a two year suspension in his DUI case. If he complies with everything, the South Korea native should avoid jail time, however these punishments could reflect the same way on his baseball career. Major League Baseball and the Pirates have yet to release a statement on what this will mean for the 29-year old down the road. This is Kang’s third offense.
