File was granted his release from the Brewers on Wednesday and will sign a one-year, $650,000 contract with the Doosan Bears of the Korea Baseball Organization, Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency reports.
File spent all of last season in Triple-A Nashville, recording a 4.57 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 114.1 innings. He spent a year and a half on Milwaukee's 40-man roster between November 2020 and May 2022, but he was never able to earn a big-league promotion. Rather than signing with another organization in affiliated ball on a minor-league deal, the 26-year-old righty opted to play overseas in pursuit of a bigger payday. If he can put up solid numbers in Korea in 2022, File could draw renewed interest in North America next offseason.
