Detwiler elected free agency after clearing waivers Wednesday.
Rather than reporting to Triple-A Louisville after being cast off the Reds' 40-man roster, Detwiler will assess his options on the open market before choosing his next organization. Regardless of where he lands, Detwiler will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal after he turned in underwhelming ratios (4.44 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, 14.8 K-BB%) over his 30 relief appearances with Cincinnati.
