Hundley is ready to move on from his playing days after appearing in just 31 big-league games in 2019 and slashing .200/.233/.357. The 36-year-old backstop played with five teams across 12 seasons, finishing with a career .247/.299/.405 triple-slash and 93 home runs in 974 games.

Hundley agreed to a minor-league deal with Philadelphia on Aug. 12, but he'll head back to the open market after hitting just .125 over 12 games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Hundley hit just .200 with a .590 OPS in 31 games with the Athletics earlier in the year before being designated for assignment and subsequently released. The veteran backstop will report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, though he could get a look as the team's backup catcher down the stretch with Andrew Knapp currently hitting just .190 through 57 games.

Rather than asking him to report to their Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas, the Athletics elected to allow Hundley to pursue opportunities outside the organization after he recently went unclaimed off waivers. Hundley only managed a .200/.233/.357 batting line in 31 games with Oakland prior to being cut, but his 10-plus years of MLB experience should help the 35-year-old find work with another organization in need of catching depth.
