Nolan Reimold: Signs with independent team

Reimold signed with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball on Wednesday.

It appears Reimold's career will take an unexpected turn here, as the 33-year-old takes a leave from Major League Baseball. The veteran outfielder hit .222/.300/.365 as a reserve outfielder for the Orioles last year before electing free agency this offseason. Reimold could make a return to the big leagues in due time, but he'll head in a different direction for now.
