Alex Presley: Opts out of contract
Alex 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
The Baltimore Orioles reassigned Alex 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
Alex 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
Alex 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.

Tigers' Alex Presley: Collects three hits Wednesday
Alex Presley went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Wednesday's loss to the Royals.The three-hit effort boosted Presley's season average up to .325. Needless to say, not many saw this coming after the outfielder hit .198 last year with Milwaukee and Detroit. Presley has played his way into the mix for a starting role in 2018, though he'll likely be competing with JaCoby Jones, Nick Castellanos and Mikie Mahtook for playing time.

Tigers' Alex Presley: Homers among four hits in loss
Alex Presley went 4-for-6 with a double and a solo homer in a 9-8 loss to the A's on Tuesday.With a cool .322 average through 61 games, Presley has been a surprise contributor for AL-only formats, but there's not a lot of depth to that production. He has just two homers and four steals on his line, and Presley's sky-high BABIP -- .386 entering play Tuesday -- is crying out for regression to the mean.

Tigers' Alex Presley: Collects three hits Monday
Alex Presley went 3-for-5 a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Monday's loss to the Royals.Presley has been a pleasant surprise for Detroit this season. His three-hit effort boosted his batting average to .313, which comes on the heels of a 2016 season in which he batted just .198. With the Detroit Tigers in a rebuilding mode heading into 2018, Presley could get the chance to establish himself as more of an everyday player, though JaCoby Jones figures into the organization's outfield plans as well, along with Mikie Mahtook and possibly Nick Castellanos if he moves off of third base.
