Avila Heads to Korea for Big Money | MLB News
Description
Pedro Avila, a 29-year-old pitcher with five MLB seasons under his belt, is headed to Korea’s SSG Landers for the rest of 2026 after being released by Cleveland. Signed for $380K with potential bonuses, he replaces struggling starter Anthony Veneziano and brings solid peripherals, including a 3.51 ERA, ground-ball tendencies, and strikeout ability — despite recent dips in velocity and performance since moving from bullpen to starting role. Avila’s move could net him a bigger payday in Korea next year, while Veneziano, who earned $750K, saw his stint in Korea end in disappointment after a rough 16-start stretch.
