BALTIMORE — The Orioles on Saturday declined a $16.5 million option on outfielder\/designated hitter Eloy Jim\u00e9nez, who becomes a free agent.<\/p>\n

\"Orioles<\/p>\n

Jim\u00e9nez receives a $3 million buyout, completing a six-year, $43 million contract he agreed to with the Chicago White Sox.<\/p>\n

Baltimore acquired Jim\u00e9nez from Chicago on July 30 for left-hander Trey McGough. Jim\u00e9nez hit .232 with one homer and seven RBIs in 100 plate appearances for the Orioles, leaving his season average at .238 with six homers and 23 RBIs.<\/p>\n

Jim\u00e9nez, who turns 28 on Nov. 27, was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Sept. 24 and did not appear in the postseason. He has a .269 average with 95 homers and 298 RBIs in six big league seasons.<\/p>\n

Chicago agreed to send Baltimore $4 million as part of the trade and will give the Orioles an additional $1.5 million because the option was declined, reducing Jim\u00e9nez’s net cost to the Orioles to $1,763,441.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
