Madero signed a contract Thursday with the Sioux City Explorers of the independent American Association of Professional Baseball, Talk Radio 1360 Sioux City reports.

The 24-year-old reliever reached the majors for the first time with Miami in 2021, appearing in six games out of the bullpen and giving up 12 earned runs over 12 innings.
