Diamondbacks released INF Kolten Wong.

10 months ago

Wong, 33, was signed to a minor-league contract in early April after he was released by the Orioles before the start of the season. The 33-year-old hit .271 with a .722 OPS with Triple-A Reno. Once one of the better second baseman in baseball, Wong’s scuffles over the last year-plus now have him looking for a new employer, and his days of fantasy relevance appear to be over.

The 33-year-old infielder was cut loose by the Orioles at the end of spring training and it took him a couple of weeks to find an opportunity that suits him. He’ll report to Triple-A Reno to begin his tenure with the Diamondbacks.

Orioles granted INF Kolten Wong his release.

Wong struggled with the Dodgers and Mariners last year and was hoping to join the Orioles as a backup infielder. However, he was informed that he wasn’t going to make the team, and Baltimore granted his release. The veteran could land with another team within the next couple of days.

Orioles signed 2B Kolten Wong to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.

It’s been interesting to see the Orioles collect all of their infielders (Nick Maton, Diego Castillo, Tyler Nevin, briefly Livan Soto and now Wong) they’d seem to have absolutely no use for with all of their prospects ready to contribute and Ramón Urias and Jorge Mateo still around as insurance. Perhaps they’ll trade either Urias or Mateo prior to Opening Day, but even if they do that, they’d hardly seem to need this much depth. Wong might be nice to have around as a fallback if Jackson Holliday gets sent down, but that alone still probably wouldn’t make him the best second base option on the roster. The 33-year-old hit .183/.256/.263 in 250 PA for the Mariners and Dodgers last season.
