The Los Angeles Dodgers, after barely missing the playoffs last year in a tight wild-card race, have started their off season by beginning to negotiate a contract with Korean pitcher, Ryu Hyun-jin. The 25 year old left handed pitcher spent 7 years with the Korean Baseball Organization, and won a Gold Medal at the Beijing 2008 Olympics. The Dodgers bid 25.7 million dollars for the ace. Hyun-jin also made 7 All-star appearances for his Korean team, the Hanwha Eagles. He is 98-52 lifetime with a 2.80 ERA. He also won his only start at the World Baseball Classic, giving up only two runs over seven innings.
