Francisco Rodriguez Granted Release
7 years agoVeteran reliever Francisco Rodriguez, who was fighting for a bullpen spot with the Philadelphia Phillies this spring, has been granted his release by the organization. The 36-year-old who last pitched in the majors with the Detroit Tigers last season, made eight appearances with the Phillies this spring, posting a 5.40 ERA. He clearly wasn’t going to be on the major league roster and may not be on one again. Last year with the Tigers, the six-time All-Star posted a 7.12 in 28 appearances, converting seven of 13 save opportunities.
