Intent on pitching in a 10th major league season, veteran right-hander Mychal Givens opted out of his minor league deal with the Miami Marlins and became a free agent, MLB Trade Rumors reported Thursday.
Givens, 33, signed a minor league deal with the Marlins late in spring training and opened the season at Triple-A Jacksonville, where he had a 7.94 ERA in nine appearances.
Givens has played for the Baltimore Orioles during seven of his nine seasons. He’s gone 32-24 with a 3.47 ERA over 425 appearances (one start) for five different clubs in his career.
The 2009 second-round draft pick by the Orioles was 0-1 with an 11.25 ERA in six appearances for Baltimore last season.
