Left-hander has elected free agency, per Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Pau Gasol Jersey ( ). The lefty had been designated for a signment by the Braves earlier this week and seems to have pa sed through waivers unclaimed. Since he had been previously outrighted in his career, he had the right to elect free agency and has exercised that right. Logue, 28, signed a minor league deal with Atlanta in the offseason. He was selected to that clubs roster in July but was optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett the next day without being put into a game. He was recalled in August but again was optioned without being used at the major league level. He has been serving in a swing role in the minors this year, logging 94 1/3 innings over 24 appearances, including 12 starts. He has a 2.58 earned run average in that time, as well as a 23.7% strikeout rate and 7.4% walk rate. He probably got some help from a .265 batting average on balls in play and 82% strand rate but his 3.91 FIP suggests he could post decent results even with some regre sion in the luck department. The southpaw was once a notable prospect in the Blue Jays system, highlighted by a strong 2021 season. That year, he made 25 minor league appearances and logged 125 innings with a 3.67 ERA, 28.2% strikeout rate and 5.3% walk rate. That got him a spot on Torontos 40-man roster and then he was one of four players sent to the Athletics in the that brought to the Jays. The next two years were a struggle for Logue. He posted a 6.79 ERA for the As in 2022 and an even-worse 8.12 ERA for their Triple-A club. He was put on waivers after that season and was claimed by the Tigers. In 2023, he had a 7.36 ERA in the majors and a 6.58 mark in Triple-A. That left him to sign a minor league deal with Atlanta but he has had better results here in 2024. Hell now head to the open market and a se s his opportunities. Perhaps some clubs are interested by his return to form this year, though the fact that he cleared waivers means that he will be limited to minor league deals. He will be out of options next year but can theoretically still provide a club with years of cheap control since he has le s than a year of service time. Wesley Matthews Jersey
