Prior to Sunday’s series finale with the Diamondbacks, the Dodgers made a surprise decision optioning Casey Sadler to the AAA Oklahoma City. Many were surprised by the move, after all, since arriving in Los Angeles, Casey Sadler has a 0.73 ERA across twelve plus innings for the Dodgers.
So why was Sadler optioned? The first reason is probably the biggest reason he was chosen and that is because he actually has options left. Yimi Garcia is out of options meaning Caleb Ferguson and J.T. Chargois were the other relievers that could’ve been sent down to the minors.
Ferguson is fighting for the LOOGY role in the pen while Chargois has always had good stuff, he just needs to put it all together.
