Hyun Jin Ryu, former Blue Jays pitcher, has signed with his former KBO team, marking his return to Korea to finish his career. Ryu joins other ex-Blue Jays players in the KBO like Anthony Alford, Socrates Brito, and Seunghwan Oh. Despite interest from MLB teams, Ryu's decision to return to the KBO has garnered praise for his impressive career stats, including a sub-3.00 ERA over 10 MLB seasons.

I cannot believe an @mlb team did not sign @HyunJinRyu99. I know he’s had a series of injuries but I also know he has something left to give and can help a team win now. https://t.co/SEa759zTqF
