Saturday afternoon it was announced that the Los Angeles Dodgers released reliever J.T. Chargois so that Chargois can sign with a team in Japan. The Dodgers bullpen was already shaping up to be a stiff competition in spring training and Chargois is out of options and most likely figured his best chance at success would be to head over to Japan.
Chargois was a second-round pick in the 2012 MLB draft and the Dodgers took a chance on him when he hit waivers. Chargois appeared in 85 big league games and pitched to an ERA of 4.
