Werth was arrested in Arizona on April 17 while he was attempting to make the Seattle Mariners roster. He refused an officer's request to submit to a field sobriety test and was taken to a hospital, where he had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.12.
Werth pleaded guilty to the charge and avoided jail time as part of the agreement. He agreed to enter a diversion program, which included fines of $1,600 and a suspended license.
Werth retired from baseball in June.
