Daniel Kim of ESPN reports that right-hander Gabriel Ynoa is close to signing with the CTBC Brothers of the Chinese Professional Baseball League.

Ynoa signed a contract with the Tokyo Swallows on Thursday.

Ynoa cleared waivers and became a free agent Monday.

Ynoa (1-9) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Thursday, giving up three earned runs on six hits over 6.1 innings, striking out one and walking none as the Orioles fell 8-4.
