Cubs RHP Christian Roa elected free agency.

Roa should be able to latch on somewhere as organizational relief depth after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 27-year-old was designated for assignment last week without ever making an appearance for Chicago. He posted a pedestrian 5.19 ERA, 1.96 WHIP and a 6/7 K/BB ratio across 8 2/3 innings for the Astros earlier this season.

Orioles designated RHP Christian Roa for assignment.

This is the third team so far this year to DFA Roa, who had a 5.19 ERA with the Astros in a small sample before being jettisoned to the Twins and then Orioles. The league seems to have a lot of interest in fixing him, so perhaps he’ll be claimed or acquired yet again.
