The Orix Buffaloes announced today that Seung-Yeop Lee will not be returning next year because the team decided to accept his request for release.  A press conference is scheduled for the 21st.

Incidentally, Sponichi reports that Lee could return to the KBO and play for the Samsung Lions.

UPDATE 10/21 @ 4:09pm - Lee told reporters at his press conference at Hotto Motto Field earlier today that his 8 years in Japan were full of things he could not put into words and that he felt he deserved some of the blame for the team not making the Climax Series this year.
