Patrick Wisdom has signed with a team in the Korean Baseball Organization, marking a surprising shift in his career as he was still considered a power hitter and a potential platoon option for MLB teams.

Patrick Wisdom was designated for assignment by the Cubs, likely ending his tenure with the team. After a breakout season in 2021 where he hit 28 homers and finished fourth in NL Rookie of the Year voting, Wisdom struggled in subsequent years. His performance declined significantly, culminating in a career-worst slash line of .171/.237/.392 this past season, as he played only 75 games. This decline in production made the decision to move on from him an easier choice for Chicago.

His playing time decreased as the Cubs focused on developing third baseman Christopher Morel, leading to his designation for assignment. Wisdom had previously shown promise, hitting over 20 home runs in three consecutive seasons from 2021 to 2023.
