Korean pitcher Ryu accepts Dodgers’ qualifying offer
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin became only the sixth player to accept a Major League Baseball qualifying offer, agreeing Monday to a one-year deal with the Dodgers worth $17.9 million. The 31-year-old South Korean left-hander, who helped his homeland capture 2008 Beijing Olympic gold, became the first World Series starter from his baseball-loving nation this year, but the Dodgers lost the title to the Boston Red Sox. Ryu became the rare player to take the deal on offer in the qualifying system, the mean salary of the 125 highest-paid players in Major League Baseball.
