Hyun-Jin Ryu, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher, will accept the qualifying offer which he has been tendered, per Jon Heyman on Twitter. If he accepts, Ryu will be on a one year, $17.9 million deal for 2019, and then will be a free agent after the season, and will be ineligible to be subject to the qualifying offer again. Should Ryu decline, he would be a free agent, but any team wishing to sign him would have to forfeit a draft pick.
Ryu, who turns 32 in March, has been good for the Dodgers while healthy, but has had problems staying healthy.
