Summary of free agent players remaining on the market Ryu Hyun-jin, classified as 3rd to 4th starter, selected as ace pitcher, Snell, Montgomery, Imanaga, Stroman, etc.
The official website of the U.S. Major League Baseball recommended free agent (FA) Ryu Hyun-jin (37) as the 3rd or 4th starting pitcher.
On the 2nd (Korean time), MLB.com summarized the most impactful free agents remaining in the market.
Ryu Hyun-jin was classified as a mid-rotation option, along with Michael Lorenzen, Sean Manea, Mike Clevinger, Alex Wood, and James Paxton. An explanation was also added that although he is not top class, he is a pitcher who can do his job well.
The media said, “The market for pitchers in this class is actively moving. “Seth Lugo, Michael Waka (Kansas City Royals), Wade Miley (Milwaukee Brewers), Lance Lynn (St. Louis Cardinals), and Luis Severino (New York Mets) have already found new teams,” he wrote. He continued, “But there are still solid options remaining. “Although not the flashiest, both of these pitchers can help strengthen the team’s starting rotation.”
Ryu Hyun-jin, who signed a four-year, $80 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays ahead of the 2020 season, qualified as a free agent after the 2023 season.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who underwent elbow surgery during the 2022 season, returned during last season, the final year of his contract with Toronto, and recorded 3 wins, 3 losses, and an average ERA of 3.46 in 11 games. Ryu Hyun-jin, who went on the operating table at the age of well over 30, raised doubts about his comeback, but upon his return, he showed off his skillful game management ability based on stable control of the ball.
Recently, local media are recommending that Ryu Hyun-jin is needed by the New York Mets, San Diego Padres, and Baltimore Orioles.
Meanwhile, the media selected Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery, Shota Imanaga, and Marcus Stroman as ace-level free agent pitchers who have not yet decided on their future moves.
Josh Hader was named as an outstanding closing pitcher, and among bullpen pitchers, Aroldis Chapman and Joe Duck Hicks were mentioned. 19가이드03
