• Alex Presley: Opts out of contract

  05/16/2018 • By RotoWire

  Presley opted out of his minor-league contract with the Orioles on Wednesday, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxonline.com reports. Presley will look for big-league opportunities elsewhere after spending the first month of the season with Triple-A Norfolk, where he hit a respectable .275/.347/.367 across 26 games. He could choose to return to the Orioles given their need for left-handed hitting outfielders, but the 32-year-old doesn't project as anything more than organizational outfield depth wherever he lands.

• Orioles' Alex Presley: Fails to crack Opening Day roster

  03/25/2018 • By RotoWire

  The Orioles reassigned Presley to minor-league camp Sunday, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports. Presley performed well at the plate in spring training with a .325 batting average and .829 OPS, but that effort didn't prove enough to earn an Opening Day roster spot. The 32-year-old's outfield versatility and 2017 success (slashing .314/.354/.416 in 245 at-bats) could earn him a look elsewhere, but at this point, he appears slated for Triple-A Norfolk.

• Orioles' Alex Presley: Signs minor-league deal with Orioles

  02/19/2018 • By RotoWire

  Presley signed a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training with Baltimore on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports. The 32-year-old journeyman outfielder has played for five teams in his eight-year major-league career. He hit for a strong .314/.354/.416 line in 264 plate appearances for the Tigers last season, though that small-sample success was aided by an unsustainably high .383 BABIP. He received at least 10 starts at all three outfield positions last year. That flexibility and the fact that he hits left-handed, unlike most of Baltimore's outfielders, could help him win a bench spot this spring.

• Alex Presley: Heads to free agency

  11/02/2017 • By RotoWire

  Presley decided to elect free agency instead of accepting an outright assignment from the Tigers on Thursday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. Presley will look to latch on with a different organization after having a solid season with the Tigers, especially once he earned a bigger role following the team's moves at the trade deadline. During 71 major-league games, he slashed .314/.354/.416 with three home runs and 20 RBI.
