The latest minor moves from around the baseball world…
- The Kiwoom Heroes of South Korea’s KBO League announced that righty Jake Brigham has been re-signed to a new contract (hat tip to Jee-Ho Yoo of Yonhap News). Brigham, who turns 32 in February, will earn $950K in guaranteed salary in the one-year deal, with more money available in incentives. After nine seasons in the minors (and 12 MLB games with the Braves in 2015), Brigham has spent the last four years pitching abroad, with one season in Japan, and the last three in the KBO League with the Heroes. 2019 saw Brigham impress by posting a 2.96 ERA, 2.83 K/BB rate, and 7.4 K/9 over 158 1/3 innings.
Good for him, better to make good money in Korea then settle for a minor league contract, and make AAA money in America.
