Overview
- Toronto announced Monday that right-hander Nick Sandlin cleared waivers and chose free agency.
- The club had outrighted him Saturday in what was characterized as an early non-tender that opened a 40-man roster spot and reduced projected arbitration exposure by about $2 million.
- Sandlin logged a 2.20 ERA over 19 appearances in 2025, totaling 16 1/3 innings with 16 strikeouts and eight walks.
- He was placed on the injured list with right elbow inflammation and was transferred to the 60-day IL in September.
- Reporting has flagged health and velocity concerns as evaluation factors for interested teams, with a potential reunion not ruled out.
