Jesse Chavez has elected free agency after clearing waivers and being outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett. The 41-year-old right-hander has been frequently moved on and off the Atlanta roster this season, having signed minor league deals and being designated for assignment multiple times. In four appearances this year, he has pitched eight innings with an earned run average of 9.00. However, his performance in Triple-A has been strong, featuring a 2.05 ERA over 30 2/3 innings. Chavez will now have the opportunity to connect with all 30 MLB teams, and a return to Atlanta on a new deal is possible given the team's current roster dynamics.
Chavez, 41, has experienced multiple roster changes this year, being signed to minor league deals, selected and then designated for assignment by Atlanta.
He has made four appearances with Atlanta, pitching eight innings and allowing eight earned runs, while also achieving a remarkable 2.05 ERA in Triple-A.
Chavez now enters free agency and can negotiate with all 30 clubs but may return to Atlanta on a minor league deal due to their roster situation.
Considering Atlanta's potential selling strategy as the deadline approaches, opportunities could arise for Chavez and other pitchers to join the major league roster.
