Lotte Giants Place Felix Doubront On Waivers

By Jeff Todd | September 12, 2018 at 8:07am CDT

The Korea Baseball Organization’s Lotte Giants announced today that they have placed lefty Felix Doubront on waivers, as Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net notes on Twitter (Naver article in Korean). That will presumably bring an end to his tenure with the club.

The move comes on the heels of a particularly rough series of outings for the veteran southpaw. (Statistics via MyKBOStats.com.) He hasn’t made it out of the fourth inning in any of his past three starts, allowing 14 earned runs in just 9 1/3 innings. That poor stretch has pushed Doubront’s season ERA up to 4.92 through 137 1/3 innings, over which he has compiled 109 strikeouts against 62 walks.

We last saw Doubront stateside last season, when he spent time at Triple-A with the Athletics. But the 30-year-old Venezuelan hasn’t appeared in the big leagues since 2015. All told, he owns a 4.89 ERA with 7.7 K/9 and 3.8 BB/9 in 513 2/3 MLB frames, the vast majority of them coming in a starting role.

      Remember how Donn Roach did well in AAA this year after being horrible in the KBO? He is now not great in the NPB. Felix Doubront was better this year in the KBO than Donn Roach was last year in the KBO.

    Yankees should sign him.
    He has to be better than Sonny Gray.

    The A’s may want him back in case their opener gets hurt.
