James McDonald refused his assignment to Triple-A Indianapolis and has elected to become a free agent. It was somewhat surprising to see McDonald go unclaimed on waivers after he was designated for assignment last week, but now any team is free to sign him without being on the hook for his remaining salary this season. Still just 28-years-old, there should be several teams willing to take him on as a reclamation project.
