Troy Watson has signed with the Hanwha Eagles of the KBO.

Watson, 29, was added to a 40-man roster for the first time in July, when the Tigers opted to protect him instead of letting him leave for an opportunity elsewhere. However, they never called him up afterwards, and neither did the Mariners after they claimed him off waivers in August. He ended up with a 3.14 ERA in 80 1/3 innings in the minors, and the Mariners outrighted him earlier this month, clearing the way for his move to Asia.
