Thu Mar 29 2012 | 13:00 | Marlins release OF Aaron Rowand |
Marlins released OF Aaron Rowand. |
Rowand has looked terrible this spring, batting just .128 (6-for-47) with one extra-base hit and eight strikeouts, so this was an expected move. One wonders if the 34-year-old will call it a career at this point. |

Tue Dec 6 2011 | 17:50 | Aaron Rowand wants to return to Chicago |
Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports that Aaron Rowand's agents have talked to the White Sox about the outfielder returning to Chicago. |
Rowand evidently is interested in returning to his old stomping grounds, as his agents already talked to the Phillies but were rebuffed. Rowand might very well be a fit as an extra outfielder with the Sox, but he might have to settle for a minor league deal. |

Wed Aug 31 2011 | 21:58 | Report: Giants unlikely to deal Aaron Rowand |
FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi reports that the Giants are "not optimistic" about trading Aaron Rowand prior to September 1. |
He would have to land somewhere before the end of Wednesday in order to be eligible for that team's postseason roster. It's no surprise, as Rowand is due what's left of his $13 million salary for this season, as well as another $12 million next year. He can still be a useful bench player and will likely be scooped up by someone after the Giants likely release him. |
