That price is no joke. This year, Ryu is set to make $17.9 million dollars on a one-year pact due to the qualifying offer he chose to accept. The now 31-year old southpaw will spend his fifth season with the Dodgers, five seasons in which he has made just 96 total starts. And that number five does not tell the whole story as in 2015 Ryu did not make a single appearance.
This is the story of Ryu. He has gotten hurt countless times but he does bounce back.
His rookie season, 2013, was amazing.
