Tigers Sign Former KBO Standout Reliever To Minor League Deal

Detroit Tigers

The bullpen of the Detroit Tigers got a great reputation after what they did during the playoffs. With manager A.J. Hinch using a “pitching chaos” strategy whenever Tarik Skubal wasn’t scheduled to start, the relief staff was largely excellent throughout October, leading many people to believe that this was one of the best units heading into 2025. Entering play on Wednesday, the Tigers bullpen ranks 14th in Major League Baseball with a 3.77 ERA, putting that position group on the list of targets the front office might pursue ahead of the deadline. Signed to a minor league contract on June 23, the right-hander is a former standout in the KBO, posting a 2.39 ERA with 139 saves from 2019-13 with the LG Twins, leading the league in saves during the 2022 season.
