Sócrates Brito, once a promising prospect for the Arizona Diamondbacks who fizzled out with the Toronto Blue Jays, has been building up a solid reputation in Korea over the past few years.
Brito, who last appeared in the big leagues with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2019, has spent the past three seasons with the Kia Tigers in the KBO. The 32-year-old hit .310 with 26 home runs, 30 doubles, 97 RBI, 13 stolen bases and an .875 OPS in Korea this season, ultimately winning a championship with the Tigers.
A handful of MLB clubs have expressed interest in OF Scorates Brito, who is coming off 310/.359/.516 with 26 HR season for the KBO champ KIA Tigers. It was Brito's third season in Korea.Brito turned pro as a teenager with the Arizona Diamondbacks back in 2010, and he made his MLB debut in 2015. In 18 games of major league action that season, Brito hit .303 with a .778 OPS and a 0.6 WAR.
Brito didn't get another taste of MLB action until 2018, when he hit .175 with a .447 OPS and -0.3 WAR across 24 games. Arizona wound up waiving Brito at the start of 2019, and while the San Diego Padres claimed him, he was designated for assignment and traded to the Blue Jays soon after.
