Dodgers Rumors: LA Close to Signing Top Pitching Prospect Out of Korea

Though the Dodgers’ main priority for this offseason will be prying away Shohei Ohtani from the Angels, another international superstar could be the true prize of the offseason.

According to reports from multiple sources in the industry, Los Angeles is the front runner to sign Korean pitching prospect Hyun-suk Jang after he informed the KBO he would forgo their draft for an MLB opportunity.

The Dodgers have been no strangers to signing Asian pitching talent in their history as Hideo Nomo, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Chan Ho Park, Hiroki Kuroda and Kenta Maeda are just some of the names that the organization has brought to prominence.
