Kolten Wong agrees to minor league deal with Diamondbacks
Wong has been assigned to Triple-A Reno where he'll try to earn an opportunity to get back into the big leagues with the defending N.L. Champions. The 33-year-old veteran had a dreadful season at the plate in 2023, posting a .519 OPS with four homers and three steals across 250 plate appearances while spending time with the Mariners and Dodgers. Wong got into 12 games with the Orioles this spring, but he was granted his release after opting out of his contract.
