"The 26-year-old Sandridge made a brief MLB debut this past season, allowing a pair of runs in two-thirds of an innings with the Yanks. He spent the bulk of the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he pitched to a 4.55 ERA with a huge 33.1% strikeout rate but a 12% walk rate in 31 2/3 frames. Sandridge averaged about 95 mph on his four-seamer and logged an outstanding 15.3% swinging-strike rate during his time in Triple-A. He still has a pair of minor league option years remaining."
"A former 32nd-round pick by the Orioles, Sandridge has bounced to five organizations since the 2018 draft, primarily doing so via minor league free agency. Baltimore released him in 2020, when most clubs throughout the game were making sweeping cuts to their minor league personnel during the early stages of the pandemic, and he's since signed minor league deals with the Reds, Padres and Yankees."
"Sandridge has pitched in parts of seven minor league seasons but totaled only 241 2/3 total minor league frames. He's logged a solid 3.99 earned run average in that time and punched out nearly one-third of his opponents - but he's also issued walks at a 17% clip and plunked another 22 of the 1099 batters he's faced (2%). Coupled with a whopping 44 wild pitches, it's more than fair to say that command is a major hindrance for the hard-throwing southpaw."
"As for Bido, today's move is the continuation of an all-too-familiar refrain. He's already been on waivers four times this winter and now appears poised to head back to the wire for a fifth time. Bido began the winter on the Athletics' 40-man roster but has since bounced to the Braves, Rays, Marlins and Angels via waivers."
The Angels acquired left-handed pitcher Jayvien Sandridge from the Yankees in exchange for cash and designated right-hander Osvaldo Bido for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot. Sandridge, 26, made a brief MLB appearance and spent most of 2025 in Triple-A, posting a 4.55 ERA with a 33.1% strikeout rate and a 12% walk rate in 31 2/3 innings, averaging roughly 95 mph on his four-seamer and a 15.3% swinging-strike rate. A 32nd-round 2018 pick, Sandridge has moved through multiple organizations and retains two minor-league option years. Sandridge’s high strikeout upside is offset by persistent command issues, including elevated walk and wild-pitch totals. Bido has been on waivers repeatedly this winter, moving among several clubs.
