Hyun-Jin Ryu is trading in his Dodger blue for another shade of blue.
USA Today Sports’ Bob Nightengale reported Sunday night that the former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher is getting four years and $80 million dollars with the Toronto Blue Jays as the club looks to add some pitching to complement its growing arsenal of young bats.
Ryu held the league’s best ERA in 2019 at 2.32, going 14-5 in 29 starts and finishing second behind the Mets’ Jacob deGrom in NL Cy Young voting.
The South Korean pitcher has played all seven years of his MLB career with the Dodgers, joining the big-league club in 2013.
