Suárez Elects Free Agency After Clearing Waivers Unclaimed
The 36-year-old righty is now a free agent for the second time this season, though a return to Baltimore on a minor league deal is considered likely.
The Orioles DFA'd Albert Suárez, and he subsequently cleared waivers without being claimed. He declined an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk and elected free agency. This is the second time this season Suárez has followed this path — he re-signed with Baltimore on a minor league deal after the first instance. Despite a 2.75 ERA in 19.2 innings this year, his peripherals are weak, featuring a low strikeout rate and elevated walk rate.
