The Rangers announced that they’ve released veteran relievers Jesse Chavez and Hunter Strickland from minor league contracts. Both pitchers are again free agents.
As MLBTR’s Steve Adams wrote yesterday, Chavez and Strickland are among at least three dozen players around the league with upcoming opt-out opportunities. The Rangers presumably expected both to trigger their out clauses and weren’t willing to carry them in the MLB bullpen. Neither player showed much in camp. Chavez gave up seven runs over 6 2/3 innings, allowing 10 hits while issuing four walks. Strickland just signed last Wednesday. He was only able to make two appearances and gave up three runs while recording four outs.
Strickland, 36, spent last season with the Angels, where he managed decent numbers in middle relief. He posted a 3.31 ERA across 73 1/3 innings, picking up 12 holds and a save. A below-average 19.4% strikeout rate is the primary reason he nevertheless needed to settle for a minor league deal.
Chavez is trying to get to the big leagues for the 18th straight year. The 41-year-old swingman has bounced around the league but only appeared in the majors with Atlanta over the last two seasons. He turned in a productive 3.13 ERA over 63 1/3 frames as a long man last year. Chavez struck out 20.8% of opponents against a 7.2% walk rate.
