Reds Sign Cheslor Cuthbert To Minors Deal

By Mark Polishuk | December 8, 2020 at 11:56am CDT

The Reds announced that infielder Cheslor Cuthbert has been signed to a minor league contract with an invitation to the team’s big league Spring Training camp.  The Reds also officially announced that Dwight Smith Jr. was signed to a minors deal, as was reported yesterday.

Cuthbert signed a minor league deal with the White Sox last winter that resulted in a single MLB game and plate appearance in 2020, and he was also outrighted off the team’s 40-man roster.  Best known for his days with the Royals from 2015-19, Cuthbert was a starting third baseman for K.C. in 2016 but worked mostly as a reserve, hitting .250/.300/.378 over 1160 plate appearances in a Royals uniform.

With experience at both corner infield positions, Cuthbert will provide some veteran depth for Joey Votto and Eugenio Suarez at the Triple-A level, or from Cincinnati’s bench if he wins a job on the Opening Day roster.

    Teams that intend to compete are signing major league free agents and making trades. Teams that are more interested in not spending money are signing lower tier free agents to minor league contracts. I’m looking at you Chaim!

    Reds dumpster diving. Trade off a closer, rumor to trade off Gray while acquiring bargain basement options.

          No to either one.
          Cheslor Cuthbert sounds like a character from a D.H. Lawrence novel. As does Whit Merrifield now that I think about it.
