Brewers to Reportedly Sign Breakout KBO Star Pitcher Josh Lindblom

Josh Lindblom has had an interesting professional baseball career. He made his MLB debut in 2011 with the Los Angeles Dodgers and since then he has been with four other MLB teams.

He has also played for two teams in South Korea's KBO League, where he was the MVP in 2019 as a starting pitcher. That award had teams in America intrigued and it seems Lindblom is back for another stint in the states, with the Milwaukee Brewers reportedly agreeing to a contract with the right-hander.

Josh Lindblom’s guarantee with #Brewers is $9.125 million over three years, source confirms. @MLBNetwork @MLB

The Brewers will be his sixth MLB team and the three-year deal will finally give him some security, along with a nice salary.

Try this again: New Brewers *starter* Josh Lindblom is 32 and spent five of the past six seasons pitching in South Korea. Shades of the Eric Thames signing.

Lindblom blossomed as a starter in Korea and the Brewers are likely banking on that success, kind of like they did with Eric Thames. He finished his MVP season in 2019 with a 20-3 record, 2.50 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 30 starts.
