Carrasco Elects Free Agency After Braves Outright Assignment
The veteran righty cleared waivers and chose free agency over a Triple-A assignment, but a quick return to Atlanta on a new deal is considered likely.
The Braves outrighted Carlos Carrasco to Triple-A Gwinnett after he went unclaimed on waivers. Carrasco exercised his right to reject the assignment and elected free agency. This is the fourth time Atlanta has designated him for assignment since last August, with Carrasco returning on minor league deals each time. His camp is expected to negotiate a new minor league pact, potentially securing improved contract terms such as updated opt-out dates or a salary bump.
