Addison Russell will attempt to revive his career in the Korean Baseball Organization.

The former Chicago Cubs infielder has signed a one-year contract with the Kiwoom Heroes. He'll make $530,000 the remainder of this season.

The Cubs non-tendered Russell in December. He was suspended 40 games under MLB's domestic violence policy in late 2018.

Major League Baseball has delayed the start of the new international signings period from July 2 until Jan. 15.

The move will cause teams to push back deals for 16- and 17-year-old Latin American prospects.

The current signings year, scheduled to end Monday, has been extended to 5 p.m. EDT on Oct. 15.

There has been a transaction freeze since March 28, and any agreements between the end of the freeze and Oct. 15 will count for the 2019-20 signings year.

Matt Harvey is drawing interest from professional baseball clubs in Japan and Korea.

Harvey remains an unsigned Major League free agent.

The right-hander had a 7.09 ERA in 12 starts and 59 2/3 innings with the Los Angeles Angels in 2019.

Denard Span says he's now retired over principles about what he believes he's worth.

The outfielder was a free agent before last season and didn't play in 2019.

Span claims he received only minimum offers during the 2018-19 offseason and "once I didn't sign a contract going into the 2020 season, that was it for me."

He didn't receive offers until spring training had begun in 2019 and when the offers did come he was unimpressed.

"I'm a man of principles, and when those principles aren't met, I can't go along with it," Span said. "... I honestly recognize that I'm not the player that I was when I was in D.C. or when I was in Minnesota. But, I still know that I have value. I'm not a center fielder or premier player anymore, but that doesn't mean I can't help a ballclub win a championship or win games. I'm not the $12 million player anymore, but from what I did [in 2018], that doesn't tell me I'm worth $1 million or worth $1.5 million or worth league minimum. I got an offer for league minimum. It was just unreal."
