Maxwell has elected free agency, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports. Maxwell, who turns 31 next month, appeared in just 20 games with the major league team this season, going 6-for-40 with one extra-base hit in 45 plate appearances. He did hit .285/.352/.464 in 56 games with Triple-A Omaha, but his speed is all but gone, so a minor league deal with a spring training invite seems like a best-case scenario.
