#mntwins have placed RHP J.T. Chargois on waivers, per person with direct knowledge, in apparent attempt to outright him and clear a 40-man spot. Chargois, 27, made 2 ROC outings in 2017 due to stress reaction on outside of his throwing elbow.— Mike Berardino (@MikeBerardino) February 22, 2018
Chargois has had a series of physical problems since turning pro, and even when he was drafted there were concerns that his delivery made him particularly injury prone. I wouldn't be surprised if his early bullpens in Fort Myers left the Twins unimpressed. When sound, he throws upper 90s, perhaps even in triple digits. If he's down to, say, 93, that's not a good sign.
But generally teams don't look to open a roster spot until they need a roster spot. Putting Chargois on waivers suggests that there's a signing in the works.
