Korean-born free agent closer Seung-hwan Oh is under investigation for gambling by Korean authorities, according to multiple news outlets in Korea.
Fresh off two years in Japan's NPB, in which he averaged 40 saves per season for the Hanshin Tigers, Oh has been hoping to make the leap into Major League Baseball at age 33. In 646.1 innings, Oh owns a career 1.81 ERA with a 10.7 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9.
Oh's name was implicated in foreign-gambling during an investigation of his former teammate Chang-yong Lim of the KBO's Samsung Lions. Ahead of the KBO's championship series in October, the team suspended three players following claims of overseas gambling, including Lim.
