Foreign pitcher Logan Allen (29, KT Wiz), who joined as a six-week part-timer, has secured a permanent position.

On the 18th, the KT organization officially announced, "We have signed a formal contract with foreign pitcher Logan. The contract amount is an annual salary of $425,000 (approximately 630 million won)." They also stated, "We have requested a waiver public disclosure for Caleb Boshly (33) from the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO)."

Despite making his KBO League debut this year, Boshly served as an ace with 7 wins and 3 losses in 11 games, posting a 3.16 ERA across 62⅔ innings with 56 strikeouts. However, he felt pain in his right shoulder during bullpen pitching on the 2nd last month and has been undergoing rehabilitation for over a month.

Logan joined as Boshly's replacement on the 17th last month. Drawing on his experience playing for NC Dinos last year and his performance with the Los Angeles Dodgers' Triple-A team this year, Logan made five starts this season, recording 1 win and 1 loss with a 3.33 ERA while delivering strong performances. His six-week contract was set to end on July 21, but KT quickly made the decision to replace him as Boshly's injury prolonged.

KT General Manager Na Do-hyun stated, "Logan joined as a replacement and demonstrated excellent pitching ability, fulfilling the role of an ace. With Boshly's injury extending, we decided to make the change. We expect Logan to anchor the starting rotation. We also express our gratitude to Boshly for his dedication to the team."
