Nivaldo Rodriguez: Signs with Chinese team

Rodriguez signed a contract with the Fubon Guardians of the Chinese Professional Baseball League on Monday.

Rodriguez, 26, was at one point a well-regarded prospect in the Astros organization and saw action in the big leagues in 2020 and 2021, posting a 4.50 ERA and 11:10 K:BB over nine appearances between those seasons. He's bounced around since then, spending time in independent ball and the Mexican League.
