"Former big league pitcher has signed with the KT Wiz of the KBO league, the team announced Thursday. The 26-year-old inked a one-year, $950K deal that includes a $750K salary and a $200K signing bonus. "Sauer is a power pitcher with extensive starting experience, and we expect him to anchor the rotation with his strong fastball and diverse pitches, " general manager Na Do-hyun said in a statement."
"Sauer made 10 appearances for Los Angeles this past season, struggling to a 6.37 ERA over 29 2/3 innings. His overall numbers were tanked by a disastrous outing in June. A slew of pitching injuries led the Dodgers to recall Sauer for a June 10 game against San Diego. With few options behind him, Sauer was left out there to throw 111 pitches over 4 2/3 innings, allowing nine earned runs on 13 hits."
KT Wiz signed 26-year-old pitcher Sauer to a one-year, $950,000 contract that includes a $750,000 salary and a $200,000 signing bonus. KT Wiz expects Sauer to anchor the rotation with a strong fastball and a diverse pitch mix. Sauer departed MLB after being designated for assignment and released by the Dodgers in September and later signing a minor-league pact. Sauer posted a 6.37 ERA in 10 appearances (29 2/3 innings) for Los Angeles this season, including a June outing in which he allowed nine earned runs over 4 2/3 innings. KBO teams may carry up to two foreign pitchers, and Sauers eventual roster spot for 2026 is unclear.
