Freeman's contract was purchased from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday. |
He has a 1.13 ERA in eight innings at Round Rock this year, but he also has walked six batters over that span, so his command is pretty shaky. Look for him to offer bullpen help in low-leverage situations. |

Freeman was traded to the Rangers on Saturday for cash and a player to be named later, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. |
He is out of minor league options, and the Rangers have much more of a need for bullpen arms than the Cardinals, so this makes sense. Freeman, a lefty, had a 2.61 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 38 innings last year for the Cardinals, but he also had a 1.39 WHIP, so this isn't necessarily the type of reliever to target to lower ratios in deeper leagues. |
