The Dodgers have agreed to terms with South Korean right-hander Hyun-seok Jang , his agency in South Korea announced ( ). Its a $900K signing bonus for the 19-year-old Jang, who is forgoing the KBO amateur draft to pursue MLB opportunities. Yoo notes that Jang was widely expected to be the top pick in this years KBO draft. Daniel Kim that the two Pius Suter Jersey parties were nearing an agreement. The signing of Jang likely would not have been po sible were it not for , which saw the Dodgers ship a pair of minor leaguers and to Chicago in exchange for additional space in their international bonus pool. The Dodgers $4,144,000 pool for the 2023 signing period tied the Rangers for the smallest league-allotted pool. And, in detail this past spring, Los Angeles used the overwhelming majority of that pool (all but $1500 of it) on shortstop , outfielder , right-hander , shortstop , catcher/outfielder , shortstop and right-hander . The collective bargaining agreement, however, allows teams to trade international bonus pool space. Any team can acquire additional space totaling up to 60% of its initial league-allotted pool size. After their initial signing spree when the period opened, that the White Sox still had more than $1MM remaining in pool space. That set the stage for them to either sign additional talents down the line or, as they ultimately wound up doing, trade some of that remaining pool space. Jang, listed at 62 and 198 pounds, has allowed one run with a 42-to-14 K/BB ratio in 27 1/3 innings during his final high school season and was recently the only amateur named to the South Korean National Team, per Yoo. Hes already reached 97 mph on his fastball and will add a power arm albeit one that is likely years from realistically making an MLB impact to the lower levels of the Dodgers perennially strong farm system.
