Reds Add Eric Stout On Minor League Deal

By Steve Adams | May 31, 2019 at 9:25am CDT

The Reds have purchased the contract of left-hander Eric Stout from the Kansas City T-Bones of the independent American Association, MLB.com’s Jeffrey Flanagan reports (via Twitter). The team has yet to announce the move or the affiliate to which Stout will report.

Stout, 26, made his MLB debut with the Royals last season after spending four years in their minor league system. He appeared in just three games and struggled, allowing a pair of homers in his 2 1/3 innings of work, but Stout has a solid track record in the upper minors. A 13th-round draft pick back in 2014, the lefty joins the Reds organization with a career 3.76 ERA, 7.2 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 in 124 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level. He had a 13-to-3 K/BB ratio through nine innings in his brief time with the T-Bones this year.

Stout spent Spring Training 2019 with the Padres organization but wasn’t able to secure a spot on the big league roster and was given his release at the end of camp. He’s worked primarily as a reliever in his career, and lefty relief has been a weak point in Cincinnati this season beyond the excellent Amir Garrett. Wandy Peralta (recently optioned) and offseason signee Zach Duke (on the IL) have both struggled, while Brandon Finnegan has yet to pitch for an affiliate. Ian Krol has had a nice season with the Reds’ Triple-A affiliate in Louisville thus far and could eventually emerge in the Majors as a second lefty option, and Stout will add another depth piece to that mix.

    MLBTR writers are missing the obvious ploy here the Reds are using. Stout’s mother once shopped at the same Safeway as Dallas Kuechel’s wife. This portends the Reds signing the Free Agent Pitcher.

    Before Duke was injured his era was 1.14 or something like it for the last 30 days.

        Whilst I talk to myself …

        Had to laugh at the headline on the T-Bones site:

        Milkmen Spoil The Series for The T-Bones

        Now I need to see the Milkmen logo. Is there no end?
