Derek Dietrich: Released by Reds

Dietrich exercised the opt out clause in his contract and was released by the Reds on Monday.

It was presumably clear to Dietrich that he wouldn't be filling a significant role for the Reds this season when he was sent to the team's alternate camp site on Saturday. The veteran has produced an above-average batting line in six straight seasons, with his rather lopsided .187/.328/.462 line last season still good for a 102 wRC+, so he should generate at least some interest on the open market as a bench option.
