Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports that free agent Luke Scott has agreed to a contract with the SK Wyverns of the Korean Baseball Organization.

The financial details have not been disclosed, but it’s probably safe to assume that the deal comes with a hefty salary given that the KBO doesn’t often attract legitimate major league players and Scott had been drawing at least some amount of interest state-side.

Scott, a popular subject on this particular baseball blog, batted .241/.326/.415 with nine home runs and 40 RBI in 91 games this past season for the Rays.

The 35-year-old central Florida native is a .258/.340/.481 career hitter in Major League Baseball.

UPDATE, 10:20 p.m. ET: According to Yonhap News Agency, it’s a one-year contract worth $250,000 with a signing bonus of $50,000. That’s over $200,000 less than the major league minimum.
