The Reds have signed infielder to a minor league deal, according to the at MLB.com. It isnt clear whether the veteran utility player will get a look in Spring Training. Prez, 33 in March, spent part of the 2023 season in the Minnesota organization. He got into 32 games with Triple-A St. Paul, hitting .279/.351/.485 through 231 trips to the plate. That solid production in limited time he also lost around two months to an undisclosed injury wasnt enough to crack a deep Twins infield. He returned to minor Jeremy Swayman Jersey league free agency at seasons end. The last time Prez donned a big league uniform was in 2021. He appeared in 10 early-season contests with the Nationals before being outrighted off the roster. Prez played the second half of that year in South Korea and has spent most of the last two seasons in Triple-A. The Venezuela native reached the big leagues every season from 2012-21. The bulk of his MLB time came in Milwaukee between 2016-19, highlighted by 34 stolen bases with a .272/.302/.428 slash for the Brew Crew in 2016. While Prez has been a strong baserunner and shown plenty of defensive flexibility throughout his MLB time, a very aggre sive approach has resulted in middling offensive production. Hes a .250/.280/.382 hitter in a little more than 1800 big league plate appearances. Cincinnati has plenty of infield depth, so its hard to see a path to an Opening Day roster spot. Hes likely to begin next season at Triple-A Louisville as experienced non-roster injury insurance. Garnet Ace Bailey Jersey
