DJ PETERS NEWS

To play in KBO Peters is close to signing a contract with the Lotte Giants of the KBO, Daniel Kim of MBC Sports+ reports.

Impact As Kim outlines, playing in the KBO is a good option for players like Peters who just lost their spot on 40-man rosters, given the uncertainty of what lies ahead in the coming months. Peters is one of the more talented hitters to head to the KBO in recent years, and his massive raw power should allow him to put up gaudy numbers overseas before potentially returning stateside.

Loses spot on 40-man roster Peters cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Impact Peters showed some pop for Texas with 12 homers in 52 games, but it wasn't enough for him to maintain his spot on the 40-man roster through the offseason. Kole Calhoun inked a deal with the Rangers over the weekend, which figures to make it more difficult for Peters to have a chance of making the Opening Day roster.
