Chirinos' return to the mound has been marked by diminishing performance, with a 5.63 ERA in 115 innings over the last two MLB seasons, reflecting a significant decline from his earlier career.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery and suffering further setbacks, Chirinos' opportunities in Major League Baseball dwindled, leading him to sign a more lucrative deal with the LG Twins in Korea.
His future prospects in the MLB appeared bleak, likely limited to a minor league deal, while signing with the Twins offers him better financial and job security.
The move to Korea represents a significant shift for Chirinos, who once was viewed as a core pitcher for the Rays, now seeking to regain form in a new league.
