        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Matt Harvey’s comeback attempt may take him to Korea.</p><p>The Post confirmed on Friday a Korean-based report by SBS that Harvey’s representatives with Scott Boras’ agency <a href="https://twitter.com/DanielKimW/status/1268911191448883200">reached out to KBO teams.</a> According to the report, there’s no match yet, but it remains a possibility. KBO rosters allow a maximum of three foreign players and only two can be pitchers.</p><p>The South Korean league is one of the few professional leagues that has resumed action and Harvey, 31, had not found a new home in the MLB by the time spring training was shut down in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>Harvey had a workout with the Blue Jays in Connecticut in February, but didn’t receive a contract offer and has been throwing bullpen sessions regularly since then.</p><p>But with MLB and the Players Association still unable to strike a deal to return to play, there’s little chance Harvey could catch on with a team during an abbreviated season, especially with the minor league season almost certainly done for the year.</p><p>Last month, <strong>Harvey told The Post</strong> he’s considered the possibility his career might be over.</p><p>“I have thought about it here and there,” said Harvey, who was drafted seventh overall by the Mets in 2010. “I haven’t not had a job in 10 years. It’s definitely different, but it’s exciting at the same time because I feel so good mechanically.&#8221;</p><p>Harvey made his debut with the Mets in 2012, became an All-Star the following season and after undergoing Tommy John surgery, returned in 2015 to help guide the Mets to the World Series.</p><p>But Harvey was forced to undergo surgery in 2016 for thoracic outlet syndrome and has never been the same.</p><p><strong><b><i>Submit your Mets questions here to be answered in an upcoming Post mailbag</i></b></strong></p><figure id="attachment_15784763"  class="wp-caption alignnone aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/06/matt_harvey2.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/06/matt_harvey2.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/06/matt_harvey2.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Matt Harvey</span><span class="credit">Anthony J Causi</span></figcaption></figure><p>He returned in 2017, pitched poorly and after a bad start in 2018, Harvey was designated for assignment and traded to the Reds. He went on to sign a one-year, $11 million deal with the Angels prior to last season and was released in July with a 7.09 ERA. He finished the year in the minors with Oakland.</p><p>“I hope I get the opportunity,’’ Harvey said. “I feel like I’m in high school again, where I have to showcase myself and start all over. I just want to put myself in position to be ready and if it doesn’t work out, to know I put the effort in to make a comeback … I hope somebody gives me a shot. I feel like I have many more years in me.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
