Reds Sign Buddy Boshers, Felix Jorge

By Jeff Todd | January 16, 2019 at 10:41am CDT

The Reds have landed some additional pitching depth, signing lefty Buddy Boshers and righty Felix Jorge to minors deals, according to Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer (Twitter link) and MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon (Twitter link). Both receive invitations to participate on the major-league side of spring camp.

Boshers, 30, has thrown 86 1/3 total MLB frames over parts of three seasons, working to a 4.59 ERA with 8.1 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9. The reliever did not receive any chances last year at the game’s highest level, but did turn in strong results at Triple-A. Over 57 total innings, he worked to a 3.32 ERA while racking up 9.8 K/9 against 2.8 BB/9.

As for Jorge, who turned 25 earlier this month, he has only received a brief taste of the majors. Unlike Boshers, most of his experience has come as a starting pitcher. In his most recent full season, 2017, Jorge turned in 149 innings of 3.68 ERA ball over stints at Double-A and Triple-A. He hasn’t shown much swing-and-miss ability in the upper minors, but has long been seen as a possible future MLB talent. Jorge ended up missing all of 2018 with a triceps injury, so he’ll first need to show he’s back at full health.

    Boshers will drive Reds fans crazy. He did it in Minnesota. But he has solid moments, just not consistancy.

      Thanks. I don’t see many Twins games so I don’t know much about him. Sounds like he will fit right in here if ends back up in the bigs.

    Another signing that does nothing for teams main need. QUALITY starting pitchers. It’s time to either go big or go home.

      Maybe you might want to temper the go big comment. The Reds are building. They have to continue to be smart. I would challenge, after this upcoming season, pending much improved results, they might go all in. As for now, on paper only, they look improved.

      Last go-big was one of the historically worst deals ever, Homer Bailey. Hind sight 20/20, this was a crippling blow to this team.

        Why couldn’t this be news about the Reds stealing Corey Kluber from the Indians via SD?

    This signing doesn’t prevent the “go big,” so This isn’t a bad thing. Just more competition in Arizona.

    Boshers pitched here a few years back. I don’t recall anything amazing or horrible.

    Buddy Boshers, Boof Bonser, Brian Buscher, Brian Bass, Bert Blyleven, Bilbo Baggins. Any of them would be a good pickup for the Reds.

      Bert would run (or draw) circles around everyone!

      As I recall, Bilbo Baggins was close to reaching the majors at one point, but he came up short.

      Bilbo Baggins would be great to teach the young pitchers what it takes to be successful because he’s already got a ring.

    These were depth signings…mostly for the minor leagues where they haven’t yet filled out the eosters for the season…

        Reds need all the pitching help they get. At his age and with his talent im sure they will try to hold onto him for a bit.

      i like the signing. i was a fan of his before his being hurried to the majors in 2017 and his injuries in 2018. I think he can be of great use to CIN as long as they dont rush him.
