Rangers RHP Roe Rejects Minors, Becomes Free Agent

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Right-hander Chaz Roe has rejected an outright assignment by the Texas Rangers to the minor leagues and elected instead to become a free agent.

The decision came Wednesday, a week after Roe was designated for assignment by the Rangers.

Texas acquired Roe in a Nov. 1 waiver claim from Arizona. The Rangers designated him for assignment last week after being awarded left-hander Pedro Figueroa on a waiver claim from Tampa Bay.

Roe made his major league debut with the Diamondbacks last season, going 1-0 with a 4.03 ERA in 21 appearances over four stints.
