Austin Kearns released
We've let Kearns go but will be keeping McAllister. Our second one-year experiment with Kearns didn't go as well as the first, but the bottom line is that Kearns was a very low-risk signing — this season, he made $1.3 million, just under 40% of the major league average of $3.31 million. Had we not lost both Sizemore and Choo for major chunks of the season, Kearns would never have made it this far.
Despite his brutal numbers, don't be shocked if he catches on with a playoff team.

I assume he did not want to stick around in columbus.

Giants, maybe? I won’t be shocked, but he’s not a guy that should crack a playoff roster.
I wont be shocked, i’ll be apathetic. Slightly empathetic.

I could see him going to the Giants or Angels possibly: two playoff teams in need of batting, however awful.
I agree that he is not the kind of player that should make any sort of a playoff team though- only desperate ones will sign him.
Antonetti has his first off season project lined up.
BAM!
