CHICAGO – Connor Sadzeck spent the last week in Arlington, Texas waiting for the Rangers to determine his baseball future. The big right-hander had been designated for assignment by the organization just before opening day on March 28 and was stuck in the 10-day holding pattern where a team has to make the decision of trading, releasing or outrighting the player.
“It was definitely a long week,” he said. “It was an emotional roller coaster.”
That lows of being DFA’d were replaced by the high of getting traded to the Mariners on Monday and a chance to stay in the big leagues.
