Report: Multiple teams interested in Korean Dae-Ho Lee
The market for Korean imports in Major League Baseball continues to heat up.
With Jae-gyun Hwang set to be posted and Byung-ho Park already receiving a bid from the Minnesota Twins, multiple big-league clubs are interested in first baseman Dae-ho Lee, reports Yonhap News.
Montis Sports Management Group, which represents Lee and works in conjunction with MVP Sports Management Group in the U.S., said the slugger will soon travel to meet with teams and hopes to decide his future after MLB's winter meetings.
Lee, 33, is a former MVP and two-time Triple Crown winner in the Korean Baseball Organization. He spent 2015 with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks in Japan, where he hit .282/.368/.524 with 31 home runs and 98 RBIs.
He's belted 323 home runs in 15 professional seasons of baseball, split between Korea and Japan.
