RYU, there doesn't seem to be an offer from Toronto
Yahoo Sports Canada’ diagnosed on the 7th (Korean time) that Toronto is not in a position to invest heavily in the 5th starting position. This means that satisfactory conditions will not be presented to Ryu Hyun-jin.
Ryu Hyun-jin's four-year contract with Toronto ended at the end of this season. Ryu Hyun-jin signed a large four-year contract worth $80 million (about 108 billion won) with Toronto ahead of the 2020 season.
At the time, Toronto was a club that actively nurtured young players. We recruited veteran Ryu Hyun-jin and expected him to take on a leadership role until they grow.
Ryu Hyun-jin's mission is over. Toronto completed a strong starting rotation consisting of Kevin Gausman, Chris Bassett, Jose Berrios, and Yusei Kikuchi.
The 5th starter is somewhat of a question mark. However, it is not urgent enough to spend a lot of money on external sources for a blood transfusion. There are sufficient internal candidate resources.
Yahoo said, 'With Ryu Hyun-jin's contract expiring, the 5th starting spot is wide open. However, with Alec Manoa available, it seems unlikely that they will invest heavily in the position. Insurance is needed in case Manoa performs poorly like it does in 2023. He explained, “We have top prospect Ricky Tiedeman, so we have ample resources for the 5th starter.”
Meanwhile, it has been reported that Ryu Hyun-jin is not considering returning to the KBO League.
Reporter Ben Nicholson-Smith of 'Sportsnet Canada' announced on his social media on the 5th, 'Ryu Hyun-jin has expressed his intention to sign with a major league team.'
Ryu Hyun-jin underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2022. He returned in August of this year. If you prepare well for the coming winter, there is a chance that your physical condition will improve over the next one to two years. It is known that it usually takes 18 months for the condition to fully return after Tommy John surgery. 스포츠토토
After his return, Ryu Hyun-jin recorded 11 games, 52 innings, 3 wins, 3 losses, and an ERA of 3.46. He is worth using as a 4th or 5th starter. In fact, the ‘New York Post’ recommended that Ryu Hyun-jin be a suitable candidate for the New York Yankees.
