The Marines have signed righty Kevin Gregg to a minor league deal, the team announced (via Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times, on Twitter). He will head to Triple-A, taking the place of the recently-traded Yoervis Medina in the Tacoma pen.
Gregg, 36, was designated recently by the Reds after opening the year with a prominent role in the Cincinnati pen. He struck out 14 batters in his 10 2/3 innings, walking five in the process, but nevertheless scuffled to a 10.13 ERA.
Over parts of 13 years in the big leagues, Gregg has posted 720 1/3 innings and averaged a 4.24 ERA. His best stretch came in the 2007-2010 time frame, when he closed for the Marlins, Cubs, and Blue Jays. (Since, he has also functioned in a 9th-inning capacity for the Orioles and again in Chicago.)
Ugh. Kevin Gregg has always been terrible, I don’t know why he still keeps getting a chance.
M’s must need AAA depth, they already have one of the better and deeper pens around.
They do, bit Farquhar is a mess right now.
Meh. Every now and then he resurfaces with the Cubs and has a decent year..
“The Marines have signed righty Kevin Gregg”. Looking for a few good men are they?
Well, he’s always good for throwing a punch or two.
How does this guy continue to get signed? Jesus!
If Kevin Gregg can keep getting deals then maybe I could get signed by someone.
