Oh may leave Rockies to pitch in Korea again

DENVER -- Righty relief pitcher Seunghwan Oh, who finished 2018 with 25 solid games with the Rockies, may desire a return to his native South Korea, the Yonhap News Agency reported Wednesday.

The Rockies hold a 2019 club option on Oh's contract worth $2.5 million. Should Oh leave, the Rockies would gain one more question with regards to a bullpen that already faces several. General manager Jeff Bridich could not be reached Wednesday for comment on the report regarding Oh.

Oh, 36, pitched in the Majors for the last three seasons with the Cardinals, Blue Jays and Rockies, who acquired him from the Jays on July 26.
