Aaron Wilkerson: Opts out of deal

Wilkerson opted out of his minor-league contract with the Reds on Wednesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

After spending the last two seasons in South Korea, Wilkerson has posted a 4.17 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over 95 innings at Triple-A Louisville this year. The 36-year-old righty will now explore other opportunities in the open market, though he's unlikely to attract more than another minor-league deal.
