Adrian Sanchez elects free agency
he should to see what is out there. If he took the assignment, I would imagine he'd be exposed in the rule 5 draft. this way, if there's any interest, he gets to decide where he's going, and, more likely, if there's no interest, he can always come back to Rochester. His status on the roster as a potential mid-season injury replacement really doesn't change. I think his case is different from Nollin. Nollin is a LHP, so someone may give him a shot (more likely, minor league contract with a non-roster invite to MLB spring camp and an opt out).
