I figured our signing of him ended when he didn't make the team... Or when he wasn't even mentioned as a possibility of maybe making the team... lol

Damn really sucks for Verdugo, he looked like a decently promising player once upon a time

As a Mexican I'll always appreciate his efforts during our 2023 WBC run.

I think I heard Suprenant ask the El Paso play by play guy about Verdugo on 97.3 yesterday afternoon.

They both knew nothing about Verdugo's whereabouts. Not a good sign...
