The Texas Rangers have released veteran relievers Jesse Chavez and Hunter Strickland from their minor league contracts, making them free agents. The decision likely stemmed from the players' disappointing performance in spring training, with Chavez struggling significantly and Strickland unable to assert himself after signing just days earlier. Chavez, aiming for an 18th year in the majors, has posted decent stats in the past but faced challenges this season. Strickland's past success in relief hasn't translated to a solid spot in the MLB as both players seek new opportunities.
Strickland just signed last Wednesday. He was only able to make two appearances and gave up three runs while recording four outs.
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.
