According to Jeeho Yoo of Yonhap News, the KBO's LG Twins have informed Tyler Wilson that he will not be brought back for the 2021 season.
Wilson pitched well out of the LG Twins' starting rotation in both 2018 and 2019 before stumbling to an underwhelming 4.42 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 109/39 K/BB ratio over 144 2/3 innings (25 starts) in 2020. The 31-year-old right-hander could look to sign on with a different team in the Korea Baseball Organization, or maybe he'll go for a minor league deal and try to return to MLB-affiliated ball.
Wilson signed a contract to play on the LG Twins of the Korea Baseball Organization in 2018, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxonline.com reports.
The 28-year-old righty was recently outrighted off the Orioles' 40-man roster, which is a bad sign for any aspiring starting pitcher. Instead of laboring in the minors, he took the security of a guaranteed deal overseas. He has a career 5.02 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 77 strikeouts in 145.1 MLB innings.
Wilson cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Wilson passed through waivers untouched after being dropped from the 40-man roster Friday, so he'll report to Norfolk and continue serving as organizational pitching depth. He compiled a 7.04 ERA in 15.1 major-league innings this season.
Wilson was designated for assignment on Friday.
He loses his spot on the 40-man roster after the Orioles made several promotions with rosters expanding. Wilson has a 7.04 ERA in 15.1 innings this year and a 5.02 ERA in 145.1 career innings in the big leagues.
