Lagares has signed a one-year contract with the KBO League's SSG Landers, according to Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency. Instead of joining a minor-league team, Lagares will test his luck in South Korea as part of a championship-contending Landers team. Despite logging a .460 OPS during his stint with the Los Angeles Angels, he will try to replicate more of his Triple-A output from this year. He recorded a .308/.379/.462 slash line and six RBI across seven games.

Lagares declined his outright assignment to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday and elected free agency. Rather than sticking around in the Angels organization after clearing waivers Tuesday, Lagares decided that he was best off trying his luck elsewhere. Unless any of MLB's other teams have an immediate opening for a reserve outfielder, Lagares will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal if he wants to stick around in affiliated ball. The 33-year-old appeared in 20 games during his month-long stint with the Angels and batted .183/.210/.250 across 62 plate appearances.

The Angels outrighted Lagares to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday. At least for the time being, Lagares looks as though he'll remain in the Angels organization after he cleared waivers upon being designated for assignment last weekend. The Angels promoted Monte Harrison from Salt Lake to replace Lagares as the big club's fourth outfielder.

Lagares was designated for assignment by the Angels on Friday. Lagares posted a .183/.210/.250 slash line in 20 games since being added to the Angels' big-league roster in late May, and the team finally decided to move on. Monte Harrison had his contract selected in a corresponding move and will step in as the No. 4 outfielder.

Lagares is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Dodgers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. The 33-year-old started the past six games but will retreat to the bench Tuesday with Taylor Ward (hamstring/neck) back from the injured list and starting in right field. Lagares should now serve as the Halos' No. 4 outfielder, though his .522 OPS doesn't provide much job security.
