Dodgers Win Bidding On Hyun-Jin Ryu

Blogger Mike Petriello, of the Dodgers' blog Mike Sciocia's Tragic Illness, confirmed that the Dodgers did indeed win the bidding for Hyun-Jin Ryu.

I'm not upset at all by this news, as LA paid quite a bit just to speak with Ryu about a contract ($25.737 million). And the good news about this is that this makes the likelihood of the Dodgers luring back Hiroki Kuroda even less. So if the Yankees re-sign Kuroda, and Pettitte returns, then I think the rotation will be in really good shape next season.
