Left-hander Chasen Shreve has opted out of his minor league deal with the Rangers, per Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. The southpaw is now a free agent and therefore eligible to sign with any club.
Shreve, 33, signed a minor league deal with the Rangers in February but didn’t break camp with the club. Towards the end of March, Jeff Wilson of Rangers Today reported that Shreve, Danny Duffy and Shane Greene were free to explore opt-outs in their deals, since none of that trio would be making the big league team.
It seems that Shreve decided not to opt out at that time, since he reported to Triple-A Round Rock. He has made ten appearances already this year with a 2.61 earned run average. He has nine strikeouts but has issued five walks.
