You have to hand it to the guy; he picked a great time to go to Korea. Enjoy World War III, man-frog.

The first year foreigner maximum in the KBO is $300K. Many teams go above it, but you’ll never read about it. Samsung has the money to do it, they represent a large portion of Korea’s GDP. With his service time/experience Garko is probably closer to $500-600K guaranteed, possibly more.
