"The 28-year-old Freeman previously spent his entire career with the Chicago White Sox after being selected in the 19th round of the 2019 draft. Six years later, the right-hander made his major league debut, which came in Kansas City against the Royals on May 5."
"Controlling the strike zone has been his biggest weakness in the past, posting double-digit walk rates at every minor league level he's appeared at since issuing a 7.1 per cent clip at Double-A in 2021."
"Freeman, who still holds a pair of minor-league options, was outrighted off Chicago's 40-man roster after clearing waivers last June. Shortly after last off-season began, he elected for free agency and remained unsigned prior to catching on with Toronto."
The Toronto Blue Jays signed 28-year-old right-hander Caleb Freeman to a minor-league contract. Freeman was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the 19th round of the 2019 draft and made his major league debut in May after six years in their organization. In five games with the White Sox, he allowed two runs on five hits with three strikeouts across 3.1 innings. Freeman struggled with strike zone control throughout his minor league career, posting double-digit walk rates at every level. He was outrighted off Chicago's 40-man roster last June and elected free agency. Freeman will likely attend spring training in Dunedin, Florida, and potentially join Toronto's Triple-A reliever depth if he remains through Opening Day.
