Tyler White Signs With SK Wyverns

By Connor Byrne | July 15, 2020 at 8:20pm CDT

8:20pm: White has signed with the Wyverns for a guaranteed $130K and a $30K option for the rest of the season, Jeeho Yoo of Yonhap News tweets. He’ll have to go through a two-week quarantine before joining the team.

3:54pm: Dodgers first baseman Tyler White is finalizing a contract with SK Wyverns of the Korea Baseball Organization, Daniel Kim of MBC reports. White is not part of the Dodgers’ 60-man player pool.

The Dodgers acquired White last July in a trade with the Astros, with whom he debuted in 2016 and showed flashes of offensive brilliance at times. In a 304-plate appearance run from 2017-18, White slashed an excellent .277/.349/.531 (140 wRC+) with 15 home runs. However, the 29-year-old fell to earth last season, combining for a dismal .208/.308/.304 showing with three homers and a 71 wRC+ in 279 PA between Los Angeles and Houston.

White only collected 26 trips to the plate and one hit as a Dodger, thanks in part to a right trapezius strain. The team outrighted him off its 40-man roster in the offseason, and with no clear opportunity to reestablish himself in the majors, he’ll now try to rebuild his stock overseas. The Wyverns could certainly use a revival from White, as the club has won just 19 of its first 61 games this year.

    You typo’d Korea in the first sentence. Just a heads up.

      I guess I didn’t press “e” hard enough. Fixed now. Thanks, Brian.

    Hope he can make it back. I enjoyed watching him play, he gave off Evan Gattis vibes.

      I agree with the “mountain man vibes”. Not much in the way of wheels though

    Tough for fringe players like White to gain traction in an organization who prize and develop players who have so much versatility.

    So much for the dream of him becoming right handed Muncy

    He will regain some confidence in KBO, because he wouldn’t get much in MLB anyway.
