SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) - Right-hander Miguel Gonzalez has been released by the Baltimore Orioles.
The 31-year-old was 39-33 with a 3.82 in four seasons with Baltimore.
He will receive 45 days' termination pay, $1,254,098, instead of the $5.1 million salary he agreed to in January as part of a non-guaranteed contract that avoided salary arbitration.
Gonzalez had a 9.78 ERA in six spring training starts. He allowed one run and seven hits in five innings against Atlanta on Tuesday.
Gonzalez was outpitched by young right-handers Tyler Wilson and Mike Wright. Manager Buck Showalter said he has decided on a fourth starter after Chris Tillman, Yovani Gallardo and Ubaldo Jimenez, but he said he has yet to inform the candidates.
