Reds Add Derek Dietrich To 60-Man Player Pool

By Jeff Todd | July 15, 2020 at 12:38pm CDT

The Reds have added utilityman Derek Dietrich to their 60-man player pool, per a team announcement. He’ll report to their satellite location at Prasco Park. Dietrich told reporters he tested positive for coronavirus, necessitating the waiting period.

Dietrich had been with the organization this spring as a minor-league invitee. He carried a .174/.259/.478 slash line with two long balls in 27 plate appearances of Cactus League action.

Since he’s not slated to work out initially with the team’s anticipated active roster players, it seems rather unlikely that Dietrich has a shot at earning a MLB job to open the year. But the seven-year veteran, who’ll soon turn 31, would be on call if a need arises during the season. In 2,438 career plate appearances at the game’s highest level, he carries a .246/.334/.427 batting line.

    Of the MLB players that I’d like to buy a beer for and have a chat with for ten minutes, Derek Dietrich is the top of the list. Comedy genius.

      On the 60-man? He ended up on the satellite roster, so he may have been waiting for a better offer from another team and/or the Reds were waiting on his recovery or to see if any of their other players opted out of the season or tested positive. Glad to hear he’s ok.

      The Reds came out after releasing their roster saying he was still in the organization, but was left off for flexibility purposes. If the real reason they left him off was to protect his privacy in the matter, I have a lot of respect for that. All indications to me are him and the organization have a very good relationship, I expect him to remain with them as long as he is willing.
