«Breaking News» Dodgers' Ryu accepts one-year, $17.9M qualifying offer

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu accepted the team's one-year, $17.9 million qualifying offer on Monday, bypassing the opportunity to become a free agent.

Ryu's signing further bolsters the rotation of the Dodgers, who recently retained staff ace Clayton Kershaw.

Catcher Yasmani Grandal also received a $17.9 million qualifying option from the Dodgers but he declined. Grandal will become a free agent and the Dodgers will receive draft pick compensation.

Ryu and Grandal were two of seven major leaguers who received qualifying others. Ryu was the only one to accept prior to the 5 p.m. ET deadline.

Also declining offers were Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper, Houston Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel, Boston Red Sox right-handed closer Craig Kimbrel and the Arizona Diamondbacks combo of left-hander Patrick Corbin and outfielder A.J. Pollock.

By extending a qualifying offer, a team is in line to receive draft-pick compensation if the player signs with another team.

Ryu is just the sixth player to accept the qualifying offer since the system started in 2012. The others were Brett Anderson, Jeremy Hellickson, Neil Walker, Colby Rasmus and Matt Wieters.

Ryu, 31, went 7-3 with a 1.97 ERA in regular-season starts last season. He missed three months with a groin injury.

Grandal batted .241 with 24 homers and 68 RBIs in 140 games in 2018. He struggled during the postseason and lost playing time to Austin Barnes as the Dodgers lost in the World Series for the second straight season.

Catcher...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
