RHP Connor Sadzeck August 2021 Signing Turns into 2021 Non-Roster Invite

[Jim Goulart]

From August 12th:

 

TWEET: "The Brewers have signed RHP Connor Sadzeck to a minor league contract. The former Ranger was released by the White Sox organization on August 3 after posting a 5.86 ERA in 23 appearances in Triple-A Charlotte."

Stearns is nugget mining again. Sadzeck has had spotty minor league numbers to date so I dug into his background further. The 6-4, 240 lb RHP reportedly throws 98-102, just can't control it and has had injury issues. Missed all of 2019 then did not play in 2020 as well. May turn out to be nothing or the next Topa.

Just prior to the lockout start, Sadzeck was named a big league camp invite.
