Right-hander Matt Sauer, whose big-league stint with the Los Angeles Dodgers was as chaotic as it was short, has signed a one-year, $950,000 contract with the KT Wiz of the KBO League in South Korea.
It’s a fresh start for a 26-year-old former New York Yankees prospect who never quite found his footing in MLB — and perhaps a merciful ending to a brief Dodgers tenure that fans won’t soon forget.
KT Wiz general manager Na Do-hyun said in a statement that Sauer is expected to "anchor the rotation with his strong fastball and diverse pitches" –– something that Dodgers fans will find unfathomable, considering Sauer's name will forever be tied to one of the ugliest moments of their 2025 season.
