Royals, Reds Swap Mike Minor For Amir Garrett

By Steve Adams | March 16, 2022 at 12:39pm CDT

The Royals have traded left-handed starter Mike Minor and cash to the Reds in exchange for left-handed reliever Amir Garrett, per announcements from both teams.

Minor, 34, is headed into the second season of a two-year, $18MM contract originally signed with Kansas City. He’s due $10MM this season, plus a $1MM buyout on a mutual option for the 2023 season. MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand tweets that the Royals are covering that $1MM buyout. Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer adds that Kansas City is also covering $500K of Minor’s salary. That leaves the Reds on the hook for about $7.3MM in additional salary commitments, when factoring in the projected $2.2MM (via MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz) that would’ve gone to the arbitration-eligible Garrett.

It’s frankly bizarre to see Cincinnati take on cash to acquire a struggling veteran starter, considering they commenced their offseason by placing a highly productive veteran starter, Wade Miley, on outright waivers — content to just give him away in order to save the same $10MM salary that is owed to Minor. The move to add Minor, who has an ERA north of 5.00 in each of his past two seasons, is a clear downgrade over simply keeping Miley. One can also imagine that if the goal was to add a veteran to the staff after trading Sonny Gray, there were options in free agency at a similar or even lesser price point.

Minor has been a durable source of innings over the past four years, starting at least 28 games in each full season and another 11 during the shortened 2020 campaign. However, he posted a 5.05 ERA in Kansas City through last year’s 158 1/3 innings, punching out 22.3% of his opponents against a strong 6.1% walk rate. Metrics like FIP (4.29) and SIERA (4.20) feel Minor’s strikeout and walk rates ought to have yielded a better ERA, but it’s quite a bet for him to bounce back when factoring in how the change of scenery could adversely impact Minor. As a fly-ball pitcher whose biggest Achilles heel during that time has been a susceptibility to home runs (1.43 HR/9 since 2018), the move to Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park seems like a poor fit (particularly at a time when the National League is adding the designated hitter).

Perhaps the Reds plan to explore additional trade scenarios surrounding Minor. Perhaps they believe pitching coach Derek Johnson, who coached Minor at Vanderbilt more than a decade ago, can help Minor return to form. Whatever the motivation behind the trade, it’s strange to see Cincinnati going out of its way to add salary after so aggressively finding ways to cut payroll over the past 18 months. In a vacuum, the trade for Minor is a sensible enough bet on a rebound for a prominent veteran — but in the context of the Reds’ recent string of transactions, it’s just rather puzzling.

As for the Royals, they’ll add a hard-throwing lefty with big bat-missing ability who has never quite put things together for a prolonged run of success. The 29-year-old Garrett averages 95 mph on his heater and has fanned just under 30% of his opponents dating back to 2018, but he’s also susceptible to walks (12.1%) and home runs (1.36 HR/9). Home runs have been a particular issue for Garrett over the past two seasons, although a move out of Cincinnati and into the spacious Kauffman Stadium could help him cut back on those long balls.

Garrett is controlled through the 2023 season via arbitration, so if the new environs can finally coax some consistency from him, he could be a vital piece of the Royals’ relief corps. Beyond the strikeouts and velocity, Garrett ranks 14th among all qualified relievers with a 15.7% swinging-strike rate since 2019, so the potential for a breakout is there. He’ll join a Kansas City bullpen that is increasingly deep in hard-throwing arms who can miss bats, pairing with righties like Josh Staumont and Scott Barlow as well as southpaw Jake Brentz.

      So they swapped Miley for Minor and Garrett, saving a total of $2m to make both their rotation and bullpen worse?

      • hiflew

        11 months ago

        Even worse. They swapped Miley AND Garrett for Minor. But to say losing Garrett makes their bullpen worse is a stretch. Frankly, he was very bad last year. He seems like one of those relievers that is just so unpredictable. Could have a 1.00 ERA or a 7.00 ERA for the year.

          But specific players aside, I just don’t think ERA is a fair judge of value for a reliever. Too many variables plus sample size issues.

        • hiflew

          11 months ago

          When relievers only pitch 60 innings a year, there will never be a large sample size. And there are too many variables for EVERY predictor. Garrett gave up the lead more often than not when he pitched in 2021. Hard to believe that is not a trend.

        • Armaments216

          11 months ago

          I don’t think the Reds can even say they saved Garrrett’s salary. He’s in arbitration. They could have cut him now for minimal cost. And then signed an innings eater free agent for their rotation. This trade would only have made sense if they were getting more cash back.

          Everyone forgets that Miley WAS a “considerably worse” pitcher when they picked him up in the first place. Probably around the same level as Minor now. Maybe Derrick Johnson sees something similar in Minor that he saw in Miley a couple years back. I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt here.

    Minor has a 4.20 sierra each of the last two seasons and a 4.30 & 4.52 xfip. His peripheral stats indicate that his performance should have been average to + average. I like this trade!!! The only concerning part is his proclevity to giving up the longball. I think this will surprise and be a very good trade for this season and if they want they can keep him in 23′ for 13 million.

    A trade between two crappy teams

    Wait! What?!? The Reds did what?? Not again! We gave away Barnhart for nothing near his true market value, literally gave away Miley for nothing, replaced AS Winker with Jake Fraley (although we did dump Suarez but Moustakas would have been a better dump), and now we ADD salary to secure Minor so he can fight it out with Justin Dunn for the #5 starter or long reliever. Granted, Miley will come nowhere close to replicating last year’s performance but he could have at least been traded for something. Miley was damaged material at the end of last year and in 4 of his last 6 starts failed to go 5 innings but putting him on waivers seems overly negligent. Getting rid of Garrett is a plus because that dude is a gaping head case and he didn’t just give up hits and HRs, he gave them up in crucial spots. Good riddance there. As a longtime Reds fan I think Castellini owes us an explanation or some justification for a totally uneven approach to rebuilding (think tanking).

    Krall was confused, Bob said trade him for a Minor league player. Royals offered Krall the best Minor they had, and he signed off without asking any questions

    No one ever said the reds were smart, can’t even make good trades. There a joke, there back to being a AAA team. Management is a clown act, and the owner if he had any class would sell them to someone who wants to win. New team hats should say, THE JOKES.

    In an offseason full of unbelievably bad moves by the Reds, this might be the worst.

    The only justification for giving away Sonny Gray and Wade Miley was that Hunter Greene and/or Nick Lodolo were getting called up.

    Now, though, they’ve blocked at least one of them with a an old, expensive AAAA starter.

    This is a nightmare.
