Of course, the move of signing Barnes came after the Hanwha Eagles got rid of outfielder Jared Hoying. According to baseball betting picks experts, this was no surprise to anyone who follows the KBO.

One of the reasons the Hanwha Eagles chose to sign Barnes is because of his power. This is because in his last Triple-A season, Barnes had 30 homers and 95 RBIs in 120 games. Since they rank last in the KBO for runs and home runs, fans are looking forward to seeing Barnes play.
According to the Eagles, Barnes will be joining the team in mid-July after his mandatory 14-day quarantine.
