Free agent pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu is taking his talents to South Korea, per reports. The lefty, who turns 37 next month, pitched for Hanwha in the KBO for seven years before coming to the United States to pitch in 2013, and is reportedly going back to Hanwha for 2024 on a one year deal that would make him the highest paid player in the league.
When Ryu came to the U.S. he was signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers, and had two solid seasons for them before missing virtually all of 2015 and 2016 due to back issues and shoulder and elbow surgery.
