60-Man Player Pool Additions: Reds, Blue Jays

By Connor Byrne | September 10, 2020 at 9:21pm CDT

The latest 60-man player pool additions from around the majors…

  • The Reds have added outfielder Michael Siani, infielder Tyler Callihan and right-hander Lyon Richardson to their player pool, Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer tweets. All three players – Siani (No. 7), Callihan (No. 8) and Richardson (No. 11) – rank among the Reds’ best prospects at MLB.com. The 21-year-old Siani was a fourth-round pick of the Reds in 2018 who batted .253/.333/.339 with six home runs and a whopping 45 stolen bases across 531 plate appearances in Single-A ball last season. Callihan, 20, joined the Reds as a third-rounder last year and hit .263/.298/.442 with six homers and 11 steals in 238 rookie ball plate appearances. Richardson, a 2018 fourth-rounder, logged a 4.15 ERA/3.76 FIP in 112 2/3 innings at the Single-A level last season. FanGraphs’ Eric Longenhagen wrote in May that the hard-throwing Richardson, 20, has the potential to become a top 100 prospect by 2021.
  • Shortstop Orelvis Martinez is now in the Blue Jays’ player pool, per Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet. The Dominican Republic native was a pricey July 2 signing in 2018 for the Blue Jays, who inked Martinez to a $3.5MM bonus. The 18-year-old has continued to show great promise since then, evidenced in part by the .275/.350/.549 line and 150 wRC+ he put up in 163 plate appearances in rookie ball during his first pro action last season. FanGraphs (No. 4), MLB.com (No. 7) and Baseball America (No. 7) each place Martinez near the top of Toronto’s farm system.

    Also the Cubs signed former Padres pitcher Joe Wieland to a minor league deal, he’s been added to the player pool too.

      That was announced on the “Steven Souza released” post.

      Why not have the player pool at 80 so more prospects can get 2 months of work in?

    are players added to the 60 man at this point in the season available for the playoffs? if so i could see Martinez being an option for the jays if bo is unable to come back from his knee injury or if they have further infield injuries which at this point seems inevitable with the large number of key players they currently have on the IL.

      He hasn’t played above rookie ball. So, not a chance.

      Martinez is in the camp to be around older, experienced players to prepare him for the next level in the minors in 2021. He will not be promoted to the major leagues this year. You are on an island by yourself. Nobody sees Martinez playing short in the days to come.

      Austin Martin would be way ahead of Orelvis

      Jays have better options for infield help in the higher minors, no way they opt for a kid from rookie ball

    I was so looking forward to the Reds this year. What a waste. They have effectively stepped in a big pile in the back yard this season. It’s over. All they do his hit homers and strike out – it’s not even fun to watch anymore. I’m done for this year. It’s not real baseball anymore – I don’t enjoy watching strikeouts and home runs only. Never thought I would be out early, but I’m moving on.

      I’m writing the Reds and asking for a refund of my MLB Extra Innings subscription.

      MLB commissioners office seem to think homeruns, high scoring and big K’s equate to a more exciting game, tossing away the obvious historical data showing this is not the case. They are trying to target a younger demographic. They do not realize strong starting pitching and unpredictability made baseball great.

      I never got the semi- high expectations many fans had for the Reds. They lost 87 games last year.

      Just wonder how much longer they will stick with David Bell. What a terrible manager IMO.

        I suspect the Reds will give Bell the benefit of the doubt with all the extenuating circumstances this year. But if the teams starts 2021 this poorly again he’ll probably be given an early exit.

    Lyon Richardson was Reds 2018 2nd round pick, not 4th round… FYI
