Sam Freeman: Heads to open market
Sam Freeman (elbow) cleared waivers Monday and elected free agency, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.Freeman tossed five innings for the Nationals this season, allowing just one run but posting a poor 6:7 K:BB. He was shut down with an elbow issue in mid-August and eventually underwent Tommy John surgery, a procedure which will presumably keep him out for the entirety of the 2021 campaign. Freeman owns a solid 3.58 ERA in 233.2 career big-league innings, but it's not clear that any team will want to pay a 33-year-old who's thrown a total of seven innings across the last two seasons just to recover from surgery.
