Ryu Hyun-jin did well last season, returning from his second Tommy John surgery for the Toronto Blue Jays, going 3-3 with a 3.46 ERA in 11 games.

Thanks to this performance, it was expected that the 37-year-old will be able to win a not bad major league contract in the transfer market despite his frequent injury experience as of the opening day of the 2024 season. However, the wait got longer, and he eventually chose to return to his hometown team, Hanwha.

Despite the long agony, Ryu has expressed his desire to finish his career in the Hanwha Eagles. This time, he has achieved that dream.

There are two players that come to mind from his image. They are Masahiro Tanaka (35) and Hiroki Kuroda (49).

Tanaka chose to return to Japan by signing with his original team Rakuten Golden Eagles after a seven-year contract with the New York Yankees ended last 2020 season.

He pitched in 174 games over seven years in the Major League, 78-46 with a 3.74 ERA, and pitched well with 3-3 with a 3.56 ERA in 10 games in 2020, his last season.

At the time, he seemed competitive enough at the age of his early 30s, and the obstacles to the transfer disappeared as he did not receive a qualifying offer, but he eventually chose to return to Japan.

Rakuten won the hearts of Ryu, who was tired of his long career in the U.S., with his exceptional salary of over 900 million yen (about 8 billion won). In this regard, Rakuten is very similar to Ryu's.

Kuroda was more dramatic. He made his big league debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2008, and posted 79 wins and 79 losses with an ERA of 3.45 in 212 games over the past seven years. In 2014, he played 199 innings at the age of 39, showing off his robust performance with 11 wins and 9 losses with a 3.71 ERA.

At the time, there were many opinions that it could work in the big league and a good contract offer was made, but let alone this, he chose to sign with his old team Hiroshima Toyo Carp for 400 million yen (about 3.57 billion won).

His transfer at the time gave a fresh shock not only to Japan but also to the Major League Baseball.

At a press conference on his return in February 2015, he said, "I thought that baseball's life is not long even considering my age. I am determined to return whenever I can. I thought about how much effort I can put into each ball, and I decided to return because I thought I would have no regrets if I threw the last ball in Karp's uniform."

Ryu Hyun-jin had lingering feelings about staying in the big league, but in the end, the market made him put his livelihood on a ship to Korea. It remains to be seen what kind of story Ryu Hyun-jin will write in the KBO League like Kuroda and Tanaka, who caused a big buzz in Japan earlier.
