GOODYEAR, Ariz. - The Cincinnati Reds on Friday released Dee Strange-Gordon, a non-roster invitee to spring training who auditioned at shortstop. Strange-Gordon, a 32-year-old former All-Star and NL batting champ, got a shot with Cincinnati after Freddy Galvis signed as a free agent with the Baltimore Orioles. Strange-Gordon, who spent the last three, mostly injury-plagued seasons with Seattle, hit .281 in 12 spring training games with four RBIs and four stolen bases. Strange-Gordon won the league batting title in 2015 as the Marlins second baseman and was a two-time All Star. ___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports___Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacy
