Chong Tae-Hyon won't be joining the Orioles' bullpen in 2012. The Korean reliever signed with the Lotte Giants of the Korean Baseball Organization after extended discussions with the Orioles, according to a Yonhap News Agency article passed along by Dan of MyKBO.net.
Tae-Hyon, who had a possible liver issue, signed for $3.1MM over four years. The Orioles were nearing a two-year, $3MM deal with him last month.
