Red Sox Sign Dennys Reyes

By Mike Axisa | February 9, 2011 at 3:30pm CDT

The Red Sox signed Dennys Reyes to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training, the team announced. Reyes will earn $900K if he makes the major league team with incentives that could push the value of the deal to $1.4MM, according to Alex Speier of WEEI.com.

Reyes, 34 in April, had agreed to a one-year Major League contract worth $1.1MM with the Phillies earlier this offseason, but the deal was called off after the two sides "hit a snag." In 59 appearances with the Cardinals last year, the southpaw posted a 3.55 ERA with nearly as many walks (21) as strikeouts (25) in 38 innings. Left-handed batters gave him trouble, tagging him for a .307/.409/.453 batting line, but over the last three years it's a much more respectable .234/.312/.314.

Reyes will join a rebuilt Boston bullpen that now features Bobby Jenks and Dan Wheeler, assuming he makes the team. The Red Sox will be his 11th team.

Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports first reported the agreement.

    I can live with this. Another lefty to battle for a spot.

    The Sox are obviously trying to show up the Yankees at everything this offseason. You have CC, Colon, and Joba? We’ll add Jenks and Reyes. Friday night fatty fights!

    A lefty who can’t get out lefties, you say? A minor league deal though, so it can’t hurt.

    That bullpen is going to get awful crowded if he gets called up…

    Tubby was a huge upset for the Cards. He is a very middle of the road type guy. He only leaves 75% on-base, so pretty much 1 in 4 runners inherited score. He was more efficient against right handers last year. He gave up 23 hits in 19 innings pitched to lefties. When he is down 3-0, ball 4 is almost a 100% or he throws a meat ball that always gets worked. Low risk, low return would be about right. His major league career is near over. He only has three pitches, two of the pitches take up 90% of his repertoire. Who wants a 0.0 WAR lefty?

      lefty is the key word here…

        Lefty that’s not good at getting lefties out (recent years). And not much better at getting right handers out either. So you get a guy that is not good, which isn’t what anyone wants in their bullpen.

      A 0.0 WAR lefty on a minor league deal… so a replacement level lefty to call up to replace someone who is injured…. This is how you build cheap depth that helps win a couple games over the course of the season (as opposed to not having someone capable of stepping into the lefty role).

        You are better off using a younger minor league guy. This guy has no game left in him.

          Or we could not rush minor league talent to the majors, just a thought.

          You’re getting a replacement level player at a replacement level price. There’s nothing wrong with that.

          How much does it cost to have a replacement from the minor leagues? considering that, Reyes is a replacement lefty at 3x the minimum salary of a replacement player, put in other words, a replacement player for the price of three replacements players.

        • RahZid

          12 years ago

          If by 3X you mean 2X then sure. 900K over the course of a full season compare to $400K. Also, he helps not ruin the development of the kids. Worthy investment. Also, I said that before the salary figures were announce (just said minor league deal at the time).

        • Brit Finnegan

          12 years ago

          How is Reyes working out for you? I just saw him throw 10 pitches, 1 of them for a strike, and one of the 9 balls he threw hit a guy. Who wants to reach into minors now?

        • RahZid

          12 years ago

          So you’re using a 10 pitch sample? That’s pretty weak.

          Where were these comments after his first 3 outings? You know, when he had a 0 ERA in 1.2 IP. Only gave up 2 hits, both of which came in his 3rd appearance in 3 days.

          Haters gonna hate.
