The Orioles will sign 34-year-old left-hander Dennys Reyes to a minor league deal, a source tells MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith (via Twitter). Reyes, a Paragon Sports International client, briefly appeared in the Major Leagues with the Red Sox in 2011.
The veteran has spent time with eleven different big league clubs across his 15-year career. During that span, Reyes has a ERA of 4.21 with 8.0 K/9, 5.0 BB/9 and a ground ball rate of 55.9%.
Never understood why the Sox released him so quickly after putting up decent numbers in the previous 5 seasons.
The Big Sweat is going to Baltimore.
Dennys…
Duquette’s NRI list has some mildly interesting names on it. Most of them won’t amount to anything, but if even a few of them do, he’ll have gotten something for practically nothing.
These signings are easy to slag, but they’re considerably smarter than the O’s smaller moves of the past few seasons.
I think you a word.
He must have been in the Rangers organization at one point or another.
Lol, anyone with the nickname “the big sweat” is a keeper
“Reyes briefly with the Red Sox in 2011.”
I, too, briefly with the Red Sox, but only once.
Come on!!!
Deleting my “so heavy he would strike oil” comment?
The no fun police are rolling DEEP today.
The Denny’s grand slam breakfast is back! The O’s should try to bring back Denys Baez while they’re at it. It would be something special.
The Phillies actually tried to forge this union last year. One failed his physical (Reyes) the other one just failed (Baez).
