The 34-year-old infielder hasn’t appeared in a big league game since the 2023 season. He finishes his career as a .256/.330/.390 hitter with 86 homers, 405 RBI and 120 stolen bases over 4,283 plate appearances across 11 big league seasons. He broke in with the Cardinals during the 2013 season and remained there through the truncated 2020 campaign before moving on to the Brewers, Mariners and Dodgers in his final years. Wong won two Gold Glove awards (2019 and 2020), was third in Rookie of the Year voting in 2014 and 20th in voting for National League MVP in 2019. We wish him the best of luck in the next chapter of his life.

Wong, 33, was signed to a minor-league contract in early April after he was released by the Orioles before the start of the season. The 33-year-old hit .271 with a .722 OPS with Triple-A Reno. Once one of the better second baseman in baseball, Wong’s scuffles over the last year-plus now have him looking for a new employer, and his days of fantasy relevance appear to be over.

The 33-year-old infielder was cut loose by the Orioles at the end of spring training and it took him a couple of weeks to find an opportunity that suits him. He’ll report to Triple-A Reno to begin his tenure with the Diamondbacks.

Wong struggled with the Dodgers and Mariners last year and was hoping to join the Orioles as a backup infielder. However, he was informed that he wasn’t going to make the team, and Baltimore granted his release. The veteran could land with another team within the next couple of days.
