is either on the verge of being on the Dodgers’ major league roster or pitching for another organization.
NewsOK.com has the story on the 33-year-old reliever, who has 15 saves for Triple-A Oklahoma City:
Aardsma reworked his mechanics in the offseason … in an effort to work his way back to the major leagues for the first time since 2013. Now he’s either a few days away from Los Angeles or free agency depending on the outcome of his opt-out clause that leaves the Dodgers a 72-hour window to promote him. Either way, he feels he’s primed for a comeback.
“The biggest challenge is to get an opportunity,” Aardsma said. “That’s all you can do. I felt like I did that in spring training where I really put myself in the right spot to where I can be successful here. Then it’s finding the right organization at the right time that will give you that opportunity.
“It’s like a rebuilding offseason for me, and we’ve seen the fruits of the labor come out. The idea is to get a chance and show them I can pitch, and I feel like I have.”
