The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) has requested Major League Baseball (MLB) to post South Korean slugger Roh Si-hwan. Roh's Hanwha Eagles club had asked for the same earlier in the day, and the organization is now seeking MLB's cooperation to inform its 30 teams about Roh's availability. Under an agreement between the two leagues, any MLB club can negotiate with the player within a 30-day window starting from 8 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) on the day after MLB clubs are officially notified.
If Roh signs with an MLB club, the club will have to pay the Eagles a release fee based on the guaranteed portion of Roh's contract.
