Veteran left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin has opted out of his minor league contract with the Reds and is now a free agent, as reported by Jon Heyman. The 35-year-old has had stints with the Twins and Reds this season, posting a 0.96 ERA in Triple-A but struggling with a high walk rate. Despite concerns over his declining velocity, Chafin boasts a solid 3.03 ERA since 2021 and has been effective in the bullpen, making him an attractive option for teams in need of relief help. Several clubs, including the Twins and Astros, may regret passing on him given their struggling bullpens.
