Orioles Outright Denyi Reyes

By Mark Polishuk | September 3, 2022 at 8:57am CDT

The Orioles announced yesterday that right-hander Denyi Reyes has been assigned to Triple-A after being outrighted off the team’s 40-man roster.  Reyes was designated for assignment on Wednesday and cleared waivers.

Reyes is a veteran of seven pro seasons, with the first six coming in the Red Sox organization before he inked a minor league free agent deal with Baltimore this past offseason.  This time with the O’s saw Reyes make his Major League debut, as he tossed 7 2/3 innings over three appearances (posting a 2.35 ERA) this season.

Control has been Reyes’ biggest asset during his career, as he has only a 3.7% walk rate over his 584 1/3 innings in the minor leagues.  While Reyes has always been able to avoid free passes, his overall results have diminished as he has moved up the minor league ladder, resulting in a 4.18 ERA in 209 Double-A innings and an ugly 7.50 ERA in 42 frames of Triple-A ball.  Home runs have increasingly become a problem for Reyes, as his homer rate has spiked over the last two seasons.

Since he was previously outrighted off Boston’s roster back in 2020, Reyes had the ability to reject the Orioles’ outright assignment in favor of becoming a free agent.  With no word yet on his decision, it appears for now as if he’ll remain in the organization, giving the O’s some extra long relief depth.  Reyes has started 81 of 126 career games in the minors, but has seen more work as something of a swingman over the last two seasons.

    When will the players association realize they’re better off with unlimited options

    Most of these guys would have longer careers, better chance of sticking, more playing time if they did not have to pass through waivers

    If a player is out of options then he’s less likely to stick on a roster

    So now, Reyes has to get back on a 40 man roster somehow, which probably won’t happen. This means his career is over for the most part

      It should be something like if you are on a 40-man roster, you can be optioned

      Many players would still be on the 40-man if they were optionable

      Now they’re off the 40-man and probably permanently out of the majors

        If you had say a 45-man roster and you could option any player all season, teams would pick all their main guys for the roster in the offseason for the whole season

        You have a much better chance staying in the minor leagues and being optioned up and down

        In other words, you can be a free agent after the season but once you sign with a team, you stay in that organization for the season but you can be optioned up and down

        Terrible suggestion by Camden wouldn’t expect anything differently though

      No way they would or should ever agree to that.

    GMs always target players that also have options. The minor league free agents that also have options are the really valuable assets. They even get more major league time over better pitchers that are out of options

    So if you just somehow allow anyone to declare themselves optionable everyone’s better off

    Medina of the Mets had options and he ended up with 23 innings, and pitched ok

    A lot of these guys are not seeing any major league time because they’re out of options

      There’s a finite number of roster spots, why should a guy that can’t stick on the big league roster get ample opportunity over someone who hasn’t had a chance yet?

        He’s not. Nothing in what I said implicates that

        Threads like these are a great way to weed out and mute all the haters/losers who are the “oppose everything so I look superior” types

          If you have a 30 something, you keep sending up/down, you’re preventing the 23 year old of having a chance. There’s only a 25 spots on the MLB roster, the older guy HAS TO take someone’s place.

          You posted 7 times, then post about me being hater/loser? Add me to that mute list please. I just added you.

    There is likely a middle ground that makes more sense.

    Like always.

    I think this roster instability and constant churning of pitching staffs is detrimental to fan interest and players constantly coming and going hurts ability for fans to identify with their teams.
    I’d rather see a limit of 2 options per season for eligible players and a minimum of 30 days between call ups regardless of the circumstances. This business of sending a guy to AAA on Tuesday after he pitched 3 shutout innings on Monday simply because you’ve mis-managed your bullpen needs to stop.
