Atlanta Braves relief pitcher, Sugar Ray Marimon, signed with the KT Wiz of the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) on Monday. Sugar Ray made his Major League debut in 2015.
MLB Trade Rumors posted the signing yesterday.
Among all the buzz the trade of Andrelton Simmons generated, this far more insignificant transaction flew under the radar. This is far from a huge loss for Atlanta. Nonetheless, still note-worthy that Marimon goes to Korea.
David O’Brien of the AJC also confirmed the news via Twitter.
Yeah, he did.
