Non-tendered by Texas
Bush was non-tendered by the Rangers on Friday, becoming a free agent.
ANALYSIS
Bush inked a minor-league contract with Texas this past July, a week after being released by the Brewers, but he did not wind up making an appearance at the MLB level for the eventual World Series champions. The 37-year-old reliever may have to settle for another minor-league deal this winter if he wants to continue his playing career.

Bush recorded the Rangers' first save of 2022, but tallied just three all season as he wound up in a flexible role between Texas and Milwaukee. The 36-year-old pitched in a career-high 65 games, serving as an opener six times while also factoring into the late innings with 18 holds. He tallied a career-high 74 strikeouts across 59.2 innings to post a 30% strikeout rate for the first time in his career. The right-hander's velocity returned, as he averaged 97.3 mph on his 4-seam fastball, which was 2.2 mph jump from 2021. He also ditched his slider, relying on a curveball and cutter as his secondaries. Bush figures to be part of the Brewers' late-inning equation again in 2023 and may even be next in line for saves behind Devin Williams. He's a solid target in leagues that count holds.
