He elected to become a free agent earlier this month, rejecting an outright assignment to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Hamilton is a career. 239 hitter with 189 RBIs and 321 stolen bases in 931 games over 10 seasons with seven teams.

He played his first six seasons with the Cincinnati Reds (2013-18) and was runner-up for the National League Rookie of the Year award in 2014.
