The Los Angeles Dodgers offered a qualifying offer to Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha), who became a free agent after the 2018 season. It was a one-year contract offer. Ryu accepted it after much consideration. He did well in 2018. However, he couldn't prove that he was completely free from a shoulder injury.
His strategy was to enter the free agent market after playing for one more year under the familiar circumstances of the Dodgers and proving his comeback as a full-fledged player. The strategy was a huge success. Ryu became a free agent again in 2019, leaving behind his feat of being the first in the National League's ERA and second in the National League's Cy Young Award voting. This time, however, the Dodgers were passive. There was no attempt to extend his contract with Ryu. There was something I believed in. After Ryu, there was a left-hander who will maintain his team's starting rotation. Julio Urias.
Urías was voted as the best prospect from an early age. He stood out among the Dodgers' numerous prospects. He made his Major League debut at the age of 20. Although derailed by shoulder surgery, he made a comeback in 37 appearances (eight starts) in 2019. The Dodgers expected Urías to fill Ryu's spot. The Dodgers were right. Urías pitched 185 ⅔ innings in 32 games in 2021, and was a huge success with 20-3 and a 2.96 ERA.
In 2022, he had an outstanding 17-7 record with a 2.16 ERA in 31 games. He was the multi-win leader in 2021 and the No. 1 ERA in 2022. Urias was supposed to be a free agent at the end of the 2023 season. A high-performing left-handed pitcher to a young age in his mid-20s. There were enough factors to hit the big time. However, his wrong use of one fist ruined his life.
Urías was arrested on Sept. 4, 2023, on domestic violence charges. He was arrested for assaulting an accompanying woman while visiting a BMO Stadium in downtown L.A. Although released on $50,000 bail, Urías never took the mound again. The MLB office, which is sensitive to violence against family members, women, and children, placed her on administrative leave immediately on Sept. 7. She has not yet returned as the trial continues.
When it came to the market, the dominant market value was 200 million dollars. Even considering the bad market conditions this year and poor performance last year, the 150 million dollar figure was the basis. He was a gangster in terms of skills and age. However, Urías has been wandering without finding his team. Although he is officially a free agent, there seems to be no team that is willing to embrace Urías, who has already been involved in two female violence cases. After the trial ends, the case should calm down.
You can't quit active duty. You have to keep throwing the ball somewhere. The Mexican league, Urías' home country, made a suggestion. Suddenly, there is a possibility that he will go to Japan. Japan's Daily Sports quoted Mexican journalist Miguel Lugo's social media as suggesting. It is an exciting story for baseball fans, although Urías has not officially acknowledged it and we will have to wait and see what happens.
