Lands in KBO
Plutko signed with the LG Twins of the Korea Baseball Organization on Thursday, Sung Min Kim of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Plutko served as a reliever for the Orioles in 2021, posting a 6.71 ERA and 1.63 WHIP across 56.1 innings. After being designated for assignment in mid-August, it didn't appear that he would have significant opportunity in the major leagues moving forward. Instead, Plutko may have the chance to return to a starting role with the Twins, and he is set to make up to $800,000 on a one-year deal.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2017
Plutko made 20 starts in 2019 and got several chances to start early on in 2020 -- including when Mike Clevinger was scratched for violating team protocols -- but he couldn't maintain a starting role for Cleveland. He had a seven-run blowup against Detroit on Aug. 21 and was not entrusted with another start after that. Plutko enjoyed some success out of the bullpen in September, and the bullpen is where Plutko should remain even with the departures from Cleveland's starting staff over the past couple years. The stuff simply is not there for Plutko to be able to turn a big-league lineup over multiple times -- his career ERA jumps from 3.45 the first time through to 5.92 the second time through. The flyballer may not have much upside in relief either, but Plutko has enough control and is crafty enough to where he should be able to stick around in the middle innings.
