He was a better player than that at one point. Not so sure about that anymore.

He's making 530,000 more by playing overseas than he would in the states right now.

Never hitting over .250 doesn't help.

Was still a top 10/ 15 defensive shortstop . That’s worth money to teams but yeah if he raked last year someone would’ve signed him , DO BETTER brigade be damned .

Not much better. The league figured out how to pitch to him, and his mental lapses made Starlin Castro look like Carl Sagan, or as my spell check wanted to call him, Carl Satan.

He probably did deserve an NRI. If he is better offensively there, he may get one.

He just has to hit better there. Then give a tearful apology and inject race into it.

He's still a GG at second and probably short, that's like 30k less than league min. He's twice the player Descalso is.

He will make more money than anyone in MLB this season.

You don't think Manfred will declare a 55 or 60 game season in the next couple days?

Hard to play games if you can’t keep people from getting COVID. They can’t even keep training camps open.

I just don’t think they play more than a handful of games before it gets shut down.

He'll be back in the US in a 2-3 seasons.

good for him.

Go make some cash.

Perfect situation where he fits the profile of a player destined for Asian baseball, and lo and behold, it's about the best place to play now.

I'm sure he'll get another shot but there are worse fates than being damned to make 500k per year for the next ten years

I wonder if Korean baseball is like Japanese basketball where they set you up with a sweet apartment, car and female attendant in addition to your normal compensation
