Forrest Wall News: Opts out of minor-league deal

Wall opted out of his minor-league contract with the Padres on Saturday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Wall slashed .298/.384/.429 with four home runs, 39 RBI and 21 stolen bases over 69 games with Triple-A El Paso, but that wasn't enough to get him a look with the big-league club. He's thus elected to become a free agent and pursue an opportunity elsewhere. Over 31 career major-league regular-season games between Atlanta and Miami, Wall has slashed .311/.380/.422 with a home run, three RBI and nine steals in 13 attempts.
