Nick Madrigal News: Elects free agency

Madrigal cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency.

Madrigal was DFA'd by the Angels on Monday, and he'll now explore his options in the open market after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 29-year-old slashed .273/.385/.295 while tallying two RBI, seven runs and a steal across 15 games with the Halos. He should have little trouble securing at least a minor-league deal in free agency.
