Heads overseas
The Cardinals sold Waddell's contract to the Korea Baseball Organization's Doosan Bears on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
According to Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency, Waddell will earn $230,000 for the remainder of the 2022 KBO season while pitching for Doosan. Waddell made nine relief appearances in the majors between three different teams in 2021, but he's pitched exclusively at Triple-A Memphis in the Cardinals organization in 2022. Over 30 innings at Triple-A, he posted a 3.30 ERA and 1.33 WHIP.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Waddell made his major-league debut for the Pirates in August of 2020, but he was waived by the team during the offseason. However, he was claimed by the Twins at the end of October and should compete for a bullpen role in the majors during spring training. The southpaw worked in a middle-relief role for Pittsburgh, allowing one run over 3.1 innings across his two appearances. His strikeout rate exceeded 20% in the minors in 2019 despite a slightly below-average fastball velocity, but he's had some issues with command in recent years. Despite his success over a very small major-league sample in 2020, his 6.12 ERA over 48 outings (22 starts) over the past two seasons at Triple-A suggests that he could experience some growing pains against top-tier talent if he pitches in the big leagues once again. Waddell has minimal fantasy value in 2021 as a middle reliever who still has to prove himself in the majors.
