Joely Rodriguez Elects Free Agency
Briefly

Joely Rodriguez, despite a 5.93 ERA in 13 2/3 innings with the Red Sox, possesses strong underlying metrics that suggest he can perform better.
Rodriguez showed impressive secondary stats this season, including a low 3.1% walk rate and an outstanding 59.2% ground-ball rate, indicating potential.
His career ERA of 4.80 masks solid strikeout and ground-ball metrics, though command issues persist as he struggles with walking opponents.
While Rodriguez's average sinker velocity has dipped to 90 mph, he remains a viable option for teams needing left-handed relief in the final month.
