Brito signed Sunday with the Kia Tigers of the Korea Baseball Organization, agreeing to a one-year, $600,000 deal that includes an additional $300,000 in incentives, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Brito likely would have had to settle for a minor-league deal if he elected to keep his career going in North America, so he'll head to Asia in order to gain some more financial security. The 29-year-old outfielder spent the 2021 campaign in the Yankees organization and played exclusively at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, slashing .251/.315/.376 with nine home runs and 22 stolen bases across 419 plate appearances.
