Chicago Cubs have won the exclusive negotiating right for Ryu-hyun-Jin with a record $25.7 million posting fee.　#mlb

damn

I don't follow the KBO at all, is he as highly regarded as Yu was coming out of the NPB?

Heyman is reporting that the Cubs did bid aggressively on Ryu but didn't win. Seems like most GM's think Dodgers won.

He's the best pitcher in KBO, but he's not anywhere near Yu.

He's a 3 or 4 at best.

Fastball touches 93, but usually works at 89-90. Slow curve, slider and changeup. Good command.

Fuck, his family name is impossible to pronounce

[emkayseven]

What in the fuck makes him worth that posting fee then if there's no ace potential?

I'd heard a few days ago that the Mariners wanted him too, we still don't know for sure who the team is?

[Chewford]

Merchandise sales in Korea.

Also, I'm kinda sure he's not the best pitcher in the KBO(<Yoon Suk-Min), but he is a product of the great city of Incheon.

Finally, I thought Hyun-Jin was exclusively a female name, but apparently this guy is not a female.

What a crock of crap! Oswald killed Kennedy? Seriously? Sorry, but I'm watching JFK. It's almost laughable what they want us to believe.

Anyone who has ever fired a rifle and watched the Zapruder film, will tell you the fatal headshot came from the grassy knoll. C'mon people!!

Chipper Jones, conspiracy theorist.

I like the guy who told him that he's better at his job than the President. That seems like an unfair standard.
