Veteran right-hander Park Chan-ho will wear pinstripes next season.

“I decided to join the New York Yankees this morning,” the 36-year-old Korean said in a press conference in Seoul Monday.

“I will work as a reliever and my terms are a one-year contract worth $1.2 million.”

However, he could make up to $1.5 million according to his performance.

After declining a $3 million offer from the Phillies, he has looked for a team.

During the offseason, he has been linked to several teams, including the Tampa Bay Rays, San Francisco Giants, the Cubs and Yankees.

Park, the first South Korean export to MLB, has compiled a record of 120-95 with a 4.35 ERA, and is four wins away from becoming the “winningest” Asian hurler in the league.
