[Passan] Right-hander Cody Ponce and the Toronto Blue Jays are finalizing a three-year, $30 million contract, pending physical, sources tell ESPN. The AL champs get the KBO MVP, who went 17-1 with a 1.89 ERA and struck out 252 in 180.2 innings. First on the agreement was @Ken_Rosenthal .

It is going to be interesting, its good for Cody as he got career back on track in Korean and got a fat bag. Things did not go well in Japan either after not getting a big league deal before landing in Korea.
Great deal for the KBO.
More AAA-AAAA guys will go to Korea and revamp their careers now
Hope this works out for them. Could start a trend of players going to KBO to get right.
Blue Jays are ruining baseball.
It’s funny how the BJ saw what Dodgers did to them with Yamamoto, so they machinegun signing up pitchers now.
KBO is a hitters league isn’t it? 1.89 ERA is insane at any level.
What happened to the kid from Braves draft who went to Japan ? He got 5 Million over 4 years to go to Japan?
