Hits free-agent market
De Leon (elbow) elected free agency Monday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
De Leon had been removed from the Twins' 40-man roster and has decided to hit the free-agent market rather than accept an outright assignment. The right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery in July and will miss most, if not all, of the 2024 campaign.

2016
Acquired from the Rays in November 2019, De Leon spent most of last season at the Reds' alternate training site, making only five appearances and getting shelled in two of them. The 28-year-old was flashing some improved heat, averaging 95.1 mph with his fastball, but he didn't have enough command of it to be effective in his limited opportunities. At one time, De Leon was viewed as a top pitching prospect with an electric changeup, but injuries over the last few years derailed his development. If he can pair his new-found velocity with some control, he could still emerge as a useful arm for a Cincinnati team that could be looking to replace a lot of innings in the near future if Sonny Gray and Luis Castillo follow Trevor Bauer out the door. Until he offers even a glimmer of hope that he'll be able to put it all together though, De Leon is just another arm fighting for a low-leverage spot in the bullpen.
