A few days after the lockout began in December 2021, Mike Tauchman weighed the direction of his baseball career.He received an offer to play overseas and without having any concrete options at that point from a big-league team, Tauchman evaluated the opportunity to go to the Korea Baseball Organization for the 2022 season. He realized, though, it really wasn’t that hard of a decision to leave.But when Tauchman signed with the Hanwha Eagles, it came with the understanding he might not play in Major League Baseball again.“That was something I was OK with,” Tauchman told the Tribune on Saturday.Tauchman’s time in the KBO ultimately led the 32-year-old outfielder to the Chicago Cubs, and he has become an important piece on a surging team. The Palatine native’s journey back the the big leagues might not have come to fruition without Tauchman’s year in South Korea.
