Reds Designate Matt Davidson For Assignment

By Connor Byrne | September 8, 2020 at 4:01pm CDT

The Reds announced that they’ve designated infielder Matt Davidson for assignment.

Davidson, an offseason minor league signing for Cincinnati who previously appeared in the majors as a member of the Diamondbacks and White Sox, totaled 47 plate appearances for the Reds before they designated him. The 29-year-old homered three times during that short span, but he could still only put together a .163/.234/.395 line in 22 games.

Of course, Davidson is one of the rare major leaguers capable of playing a two-way game. He made his debut on the mound as a right-hander with the White Sox in 2018 and has added another 3 1/3 frames as a Red this season. Davidson gave up two earned runs on two walks (one strikeout) and four hits in 2020 prior to his designation.

    That might be a wrap for Davidson.

    He goes from batting 3rd to cut?

    He can play two ways. Unfortunately he’s currently not playing very well either way.

      Reds too proud.

      The difference in talent between cubs and reds starts w manager and goes right to top. That’s why cubs are 5.5 games up on reds

    From opening day DH to DFA? And no one is questioning David Bell’s managerial decisions? Smh….

    OK, I’m late to the party and still hopefully optimistic, but it’s becoming more and more apparent with each passing game. My beloved Redlegs still suck. And I am losing faith in David Bell.

      Maybe they are going to go young! They ain’t making the playoffs! And they are going to have a losing record again! And with the best pitching staff we have had in years!

      I think Larkin is a really bad choice for manager. As much of a dumpster fire as the Reds have become I think this would be pouring gasoline on the fire

        Could Larkin do worse than Bell?
