Is he getting surgery to make his left eye work like normal? Or that will never happen.
his left eye works just fine, it's his soft tissue around the eye that has been a problem which he is getting corrected to look normal like everybody else. he is getting it so he can appear without defect before he becomes a household name on TV and dodgers are paying for it so we can give the kid a month worth of a break not to damage his arm.
as far as Ryu getting a surgery, I guess i can understand it. he has had a shoulder issue as long as I have known about him from KBO. but in South Korea, they have a different pay system where your salary is based on your previous year's performanc until you are eligible to sign as a free agent, which takes like ten years. he had to play through a ton of aches and pain to get paid the next season, but with guaranteed contracts of MLB, why not fix it for good while you still can? and for the dodgers, this now wipes off his automatic opt out clause and gets to keep him for cheap through another prime year of his.
