Catcher Mike Redmond is a free agent after being released by the Cleveland Indians.

The catcher was designated for assignment on July 10, when the Indians purchased the contract of Chris Gimenez from Triple-A Columbus.

The 39-year-old Redmond hit .206 with five RBIs in 22 games for Cleveland after signing as a free agent in January. In 13 season with the Indians, Florida Marlins and Minnesota Twins, he hit .287 with 13 homers and 243 RBIs in 764 games.

In Redmond's final game with the Indians on July 2, he came to bat with the bases loaded and hit what normally would be a single to right field. Oakland right fielder Ryan Sweeney was playing shallow, fielded the ball on one hop and threw Redmond out at first base to end the inning.
