Right-hander Carl Edwards Jr. has elected free agency after being outrighted by the Angels to Triple-A Salt Lake, which he rejected due to his over seven years of major league service time. He had a solid performance in Triple-A, posting a 1.54 ERA over 11 2/3 innings, but struggled in his brief stint in the majors this season with a 9.00 ERA. Edwards, who has a career 3.59 ERA in 283 MLB innings, now has the opportunity to negotiate with the Angels or explore options with other teams, potentially adding veteran depth in response to injuries around the league.
