SEOUL, Jan. 16 (Yonhap)—South Korean free agent Choi Ji-man has signed with the New York Yankees, with an invitation to spring training, his agency said Monday.
GSM said Choi signed for US$700,000 and will get a chance to compete for a big league job in spring training. If he makes the major league roster, then Choi will receive an additional $400,000 in incentives, GSM added.
The 25-year-old elected for free agency last week instead of accepting an assignment to the minors in the Los Angeles Angels system.
