Justin Germano has signed with the Samsung Lions of the Korean Baseball Organization, according to Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net. He signed for $210K, including a $50K bonus, according to this Korean news story. The 28-year-old right-hander appeared in nine games for the Indians this year before they designated him for assignment in May.
In six seasons with the Indians, Padres and Reds, Germano has a 5.02 ERA with 5.4 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9. Last year may have been his best season; he posted a 3.31 ERA with 7.4 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9 in 35 1/3 innings for the Indians, pitching mostly in relief.
