Brandon Mann
Free Agent
Transitions to coaching role
Lotte named Mann as its minor-league pitching coordinator Wednesday, signaling the end of the 36-year-old's playing career, Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency reports.
ANALYSIS
Mann most recently pitched in the CPBL with the Rakuten Monkeys in 2020, logging a 7.08 ERA across 20.1 innings. Prior to that, he spent time in various leagues in Asia and North America, most notably making seven appearances with MLB's Texas Rangers in 2018. He also worked in relief for Lotte in 2019, so he'll have some familiarity with the organization as he embarks on a coaching career.
