Reds To Sign Daniel Wright

By Jeff Todd | December 26, 2017 at 10:28pm CDT

The Reds have agreed to a minor-league deal with righty Daniel Wright, according to SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo (via Twitter). It seems reasonable to anticipate that he’ll receive an MLB camp invite, though that’s not yet clear.

Wright, 26, has worked to a 5.61 ERA with 4.9 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 over 59 1/3 MLB innings in the prior two seasons. All of those outings came with the Angels, who claimed Wright from Cincinnati — the organization that originally drafted him — in early September of 2016.

All in all, it was a tough 2017 campaign for Wright, who sits at only about 90 mph with his fastball but works in three offspeed offerings (a change, slider, and curve) with regularity. He logged 92 2/3 innings at Triple-A, almost entirely as a starter, but was torched for a 6.99 ERA and managed only 5.9 K/9 with 3.4 BB/9.

    This is probably the best landing spot for Daniel Wright. Behind Iglesias, Lorenzen and now Hughes, the last four bullpen spots are pretty much up for grabs between like 20 guys. At least there are enough spots open where it could be something of a revolving door.

      Dont see this as his best landing spot. Doesnt gave swing and miss stuff, in a launching pad. May have the clearest path to the majors, but the park is a horrible fit.

      Don’t forget about Wandy Peralta

      I made a hoagie before bed and ate it. I thought about regretting it, but the taste justified the means.

    He had a few good spot starts for my halos. Wish we could have kept him, but glad he’s going somewhere where he can get more of an opportunity. Good luck.

      Really nerd?

    He really should try to learn how to throw a cutter.. A 90 mph cut fastball complimented with mid 80’s breaking pitches would make him a useful reliever.. Wright has about the same physical frame as Mariano Rivera and Rivera averaged a little over 91 mph with his cutter the last few years of his career.. The first time I saw Wright pitch I thought he would benefit greatly from learning the cutter.. He is still young enough to learn it, spend a year or 2 mastering it, and go on to a long career..

      I was just thinking the same thing. In 2 years this guy could be Mariano Rivera! If only he could develop the Wright pitch.

      • astick

        What if he doesn’t develop into Rivera? We all have to do something.
