Michael Feliz Elects Free Agency

By Anthony Franco | July 13, 2022 at 6:58pm CDT

Reliever Michael Feliz has passed through outright waivers unclaimed and elected minor league free agency, tweets Chris Cotillo of MassLive. Boston designated him for assignment last weekend.

Feliz is no stranger to the waiver wire, having bounced between four different organizations over the past two seasons. The right-hander had spent the 2018-20 campaigns with the Pirates, racking up high strikeout totals but typically showing erratic control. He shuttled around the league last year, suiting up with the Reds, Red Sox and A’s after being let go by the Bucs in May. Last offseason, Feliz returned to Boston on a minor league pact.

The 29-year-old has spent much of the season with Triple-A Worcester. He worked to a 3.28 ERA across 24 2/3 innings with the WooSox, striking out a solid 27.7% of batters faced while walking a league average 8.9% of opponents. That generally solid work earned Feliz a big league call last week, but his stay on the roster proved brief. He made just one appearance, soaking up 3 1/3 frames of mop-up work in a loss to the Yankees, before being taken off the roster.

Now that he’s back on the open market, the hard-throwing Feliz should be able to find another minor league opportunity elsewhere. He’s appeared in each of the past eight big league seasons, combining for a 5.28 ERA through 250 career innings. Feliz has fanned nearly 30% of opponents at the major league level, and some clubs will surely look into him as a non-roster bullpen option based on that track record of inducing whiffs.

    Would not be surprised if the Orioles pickup Feliz. He does have a Houston connection.

    @Orioles Fan- I would definitely try to sign this kid to a minor league contract. He really impressed me last week pitching against the Yankees. I guess he could start or relieve for some team out there. I definitely think the Orioles should sign him. You’re right though he does have that Astro connection also.

    Remember when establishment types like Jon Heyman tried blackballing Cotillo because he wasn’t part of the rank and file journalists and was self-made?
