The White Sox just signed Erick Fedde, who won KBO’s equivalent of the Cy Young, the Choi Dong-won award. Which leads me to a curious question of why do not all dominant Korean or Japanese pitchers who win these awards get these contract offers from MLB teams? The answer is probably more politic or contract related, rather than assumed skill.
