Ryu Hyun-jin, the resurrected monster, returns home with a smile… Preparing for next year as a free agent
“I think I did well just by coming back.
I will definitely play a full season next year”
I’m sparing words about my free agency moves.
“We have to watch the situation”

Ryu Hyun-jin entered Incheon International Airport on the 18th and said, “When I left the country for rehabilitation last December, I said, ‘I will return in the second half of the year’
I am satisfied that I kept that promise.
I think I did well enough just by returning.” I looked back.
Ryu Hyun-jin, who became a free agent (FA), did not say anything about his future actions, saying, “I don’t know.
I have to watch the situation.”
He added, “After taking a break (in the off-season), I will work hard to be able to play the full season next year.”
“We will make it,” he said.
After enduring a difficult time this season, Ryu Hyun-jin made his return after 426 days against the Baltimore Orioles on August 2nd.
He subsequently went 3 wins, 3 losses, and an ERA of 3.46 over 11 games.
He went 52 innings, giving up 53 hits, 14 walks, and striking out 38.
Although he did not fully regain his velocity, he proved his competitiveness as a major leaguer with his sophisticated control and crisis management skills.
The sight of the batter hitting out and missing swings with a ‘slow curve’ of only 100 km/h became a hot topic in the major leagues.
As Toronto was eliminated from the American League Wild Card Series on the 5th and ended the 2023 season, Ryu Hyun-jin became a free agent.
Local American media also predicted the possibility of a multi-year contract for Ryu Hyun-jin, mentioning the New York Yankees as his next destination.
There is also a possibility that he will return to the Hanwha Eagles, a team in KBO League One.
When Ryu Hyun-jin signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2013.
He went through a posting system (private competitive bidding).
So if he plays in Korea, he must wear a Hanwha uniform.
In a media interview early this year, when Ryu Hyun-jin was in the midst of his rehabilitation, he expressed his intention, saying, “I want to return to Hanwha when I can throw well.”
