The Reds have agreed to a minor league contract with free agent righty , Robert Murray of FanSided. The Vayner Sports client will be in major league camp as a non-roster invitee this spring. Abreu, 29, has pitched in parts of four big league seasons, mostly with the Yankees, but spent the 2024 campaign with the Seibu Lions of Japans Nippon Profe sional Baseball. He logged 49 innings out of the Lions bullpen and pitched to a strong 2.39 earned run average, albeit with poor rate stats. Abreu fanned only 16.3% of the hitters he faced and i sued walks at a 9.9% clip. Hes had a similar run with los Tigres de Licey in the Dominican Winter League this offseason, to sing 22 2/3 frames with a 3.18 ERA, 15% strikeout rate and 9% walk rate. Abreu originally debuted with the 2020 Yankees but was torched for four runs ( Jordan Groshans Jersey three earned) in just 1 1/3 innings acro s two appearances.

In 135 2/3 career innings, Abreu carries a 4.58 ERA, 22.4% strikeout rate and 12.9% walk rate. Hes kept the ball on the ground at a nice 47.4% rate and averaged a whopping 97.8 mph on his sinker, but home runs have also been an i sue (1.53 HR/9). The Reds beefed up their bullpen for San Franciscos , though theyve also subtracted righty this offseason (in a trade netting them backup catcher ). Rogers joins , , , and out-of-options as virtual locks for the bullpen health permitting. Former starters and are in the mix for spots but could also be optioned to Triple-A to either remain stretched out in the Louisville rotation or continue working on a transition to shorter stints. Righties and are also on the 40-man roster and could factor into the relief corps with a strong spring showing. Abreu, , and are among the experienced arms wholl be non-roster invitees this spring and look to grab one of those final spots in new manager Terry Franconas bullpen. Josh Maciejewski Jersey
