Dodgers Sign Alex Reyes

By Simon Hampton | February 16, 2023 at 6:00pm CDT

Feb. 16: The Associated Press has the details on the contract. Reyes can earn an extra $1MM in 2023, getting $250K for reaching 15, 20, 25 and 30 relief appearances. His relief appearances this year would also have an impact on his 2024 option, with a $300K bump for 15 and 20 and another $400K for 25.

If the option is triggered for 2024, he can earn $500K bonuses for spending 60 and 120 days on the active roster. He can also earn an extra $3MM in performance bonuses that year: $250K each for 50, 55, 60 and 65 relief appearances, $250K apiece for 30, 35, 40 and 45 games finished, and $500K each for 50 and 55 games finished.

Feb. 11: The Dodgers have an agreement in place with right-hander Alex Reyes, pending a physical, according to Juan Toribio of MLB.com. The deal will pay Reyes $1.1MM in 2023, and comes with a $3MM club option for 2024. The deal comes with a number of incentives which take the value up to $10MM. Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports Reyes can add an additional $2MM in incentives in 2023, and a further $8MM in incentives in 2024.

Reyes, 28, has had an injury-plagued career but has tremendous upside and was an All Star in 2021 with the Cardinals. He is still recovering from shoulder surgery which will likely keep him out for part of the upcoming season, but as Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic notes, he is on track to pitch in the big leagues before the All Star break.

Originally signed by the Cardinals back in 2012, Reyes was one of the best prospects in the sport coming up through the minor leagues, regularly featuring towards the top of various top-100 prospect lists. He debuted in 2016, flashing signs of his immense promise in a 46 inning stint for the Cards that year, working to a 1.57 ERA. That tantalizing sample of work came with a 27.5% strikeout rate and 12.2% walk rate, but would be the bulk of Reyes’ work for the next few years.

He’d undergo Tommy John surgery that off-season, missing the entire 2017 campaign. His recovery from elbow surgery and a lat strain would restrict him to just one start in 2018, while he struggled to regain form in the minors in 2019 and was restricted to just three innings of work that year.

St Louis shuttled him off and on the active roster through the abbreviated 2020 season, but there were signs that Reyes – now a full-time – reliever was regaining his stuff. That year, he worked to a 3.20 ERA over 19 1/3 innings, with a well above-average 31.4% strikeout rate. He looked to be well and truly back to his best to begin 2021, working to an elite 1.52 ERA over the first half as the Cardinals’ closer, earning a trip to the All Star game as a result. The second half was another story though, as Reyes was tagged for a 5.52 ERA. All told, he wound up with a 3.24 ERA over 72 1/3 innings.

Reyes wouldn’t pitch again for the Cardinals, as he underwent shoulder surgery that ended his 2022 season before it began, and the Cardinals subsequently non-tendered him at the end of the year. There’s not been any recent updates on Reyes’ recovery, although Derrick Goold of the St Louis Post-Dispatch wrote in November that he was targeting a return in May this year.

Reyes was always one of the more intriguing names on the free agent market this winter, given the combination of his lengthy injury history and tantalizing upside. A $1.1MM deal does appear to represent a solid bet on that upside for the Dodgers, and while those incentives could raise the value of the contract, the club option for 2024 could turn out to be a bargain if Reyes can rediscover the form that took him to the Midsummer Classic in 2021.

The Dodgers have a track record of getting the best out of their pitchers, and they’ll certainly be hoping they can do the same with Reyes.  It’ll be interesting to see what his stuff looks like coming back from shoulder surgery, but he flashed a 97mph fastball and an 87mph slider back in 2021 which helped him post strikeout rates north of 30%.

As far as payroll goes, this is a modest addition but ticks the Dodgers number for 2023 up to around $227MM according to RosterResource. That’ll be a ~$244MM figure for luxury tax, which lands them roughly in the middle of the first and second tiers of luxury tax. There had been some speculation that the Dodgers might look to dip under the first luxury tax threshold to reset their penalties this year, but they’ll now need to shed around $11MM of luxury tax payroll to do that.

          Dude was the cat’s eye in STL for years. Sadly, injury prone big time. Finally had a full season in 2021 & threw an immense amount of balls & strikes. The kind of pitcher that can put a defense to sleep. Dodgers just might pull a rabbit out of the hat.

          My first thought exactly. This is a prototypical huge risk/huge reward type of gamble that the Dodgers can make without much worry about the risk aspect. Kind of surprised it didn’t happen earlier to be honest.

          69 appearances is not a half season. 52 walks & 95 strikeouts in 72.1 innings is a heck of a lot of pitches. I guess we agree to disagree.

          Curly I agree…I was just saying that because he did make the all-star game which means he pitched the first half…either way I know the dodgers have the money so why not but he just can’t stay healthy…shoulder and elbow…but sure why not flush a million down the drain

          Though there is a high chance that Reyes’ contract doesn’t work out, the risk itself is low for the Dodgers. In the grand scheme of things, $1m is not much. I think you may be confusing what the term risk is. That being said, nothing you said is inherently incorrect. These guys can afford to risk a million bucks to see their reliever have a chance to be worth 15.

          Right, now watch him have mostly a healthy season, and turn into one of the most dominant set-up men in the league…lol

          The Dodgers, Braves, Rays, Oakland, and the Astros are probably the five teams I’d say that are the best at identifying cheap arms for their bullpen and getting the most out of them..

          There is no risk in the amount they are paying him. Its low cost. As to the likelihood of him getting injured again, or not returning to his former ability, that is the risk. Its a high risk. As to Reyes, I don’t know how he will afford to live in LA on only $1MM.

          Yes, the risk of him getting injured and inability to return is obviously the matter of high risk. Whether he is hurt or not, the team taking the risk is not giving up much. A roster spot and a million bucks is nothing to this team. Therefore, overall, it is low risk. Even if he only has a 10% chance to make the team it will be worth it.

          Trevor Bauer is high risk. This is just a lottery ticket with a higher-than-average win. More scratch opportunities to come.

      If he’s healthy at all? I was very excited for Alex Reyes, then he was hurt, hurt again, then hurt again… then working back, now a reliever… he pitched through shoulder trouble for the second half of 2021… that why I suspect his ERA ballooned to over 5 in the second half… he just isn’t dependable… not even as a reliever to give you more than 50 innings? Maybe that will change, but Alex Reyes is one of the bigger ‘what ifs’ in recent memory…

      I don’t know why any fan would care how much he’s being paid. The important business is he’s getting a spot on the roster, so that means we’re going to have watch him pitch, and with his walk rate, that’s going to be a wince every time. Elite stuff without control is less than elite stuff.

          There’s a testament to the Dodgers ability to sign injured pitchers and get results every time, if ever there was one. Danny Duffy never threw a pitch. After Bauer was suspended, they threw ten mill at a former Phillies Ace coming off injury, and never got a pitch from him, either. The Dodgers record is good, but this is not a slam dunk. Don’t count on Reyes, and if he helps it will be a pleasant surprise.

          A mythology, I think you mean. They dropped $8M on Duffy and got zero pitches out of him, and had to give up a (low-level) prospect for the privilege. We have to imagine the actual presence they could have acquired instead for that kind of money. The Dodgers come up with the occasional useful piece out of the trash heap, but I question whether it’s really worth excavating through all that refuse to find it. The track record really isn’t so great.

          You’re really fixated on this basement thing. Sounds like projection…

          Maybe find a better team to root for, so you’re not constantly being insecure & defensive? At least you have those regular season wins! LOLLLL

    Kinda the same deal the Jays offered Green. Except less guaranteed cash for Reyes.

    Was this the guy who signed with giants on minor league last year, then left for another team and hit some issues? Could be thinking of another ex cardinal pitcher tho.

      You’re probably thinking of Carlos Martinez. This guy isn’t as established though he was an all-star in ’21.

    Dodgers fans who are getting excited haven’t gone through 10 years of “if they get anything out of Reyes….”

    For his sake I hope he can stay healthy. Nobody should expect anything out of him though.

    Mets really couldn’t get him? I’d rather have Reyes over 40 year old Robertson. Our bullpen is one of the worst in all of baseball. Diaz and Ottavino are gonna have to be spectacular again if the Mets want to even sniff the playoffs. Our lefty situationin Joelly Rodriguez last year was horrendous. I have no faith in Brooks Raley either. The smart decision would of been to sign Reyes and Hand

          It’s not 2018 anymore. Raley was great in Tampa last year and had an underrated 2021, only being held back by some poor batted ball luck. Hand has been mid the last few seasons. He isn’t the lockdown closer he was 2-3 years ago.

    Once again I immediately think that when it’s the Rays or Dodgers who go out and grab a guy like this: “They’re going to turn him into a stud.”

      Maybe, but the Cardinals are a quality organization and they couldn’t do it. Great stuff, terrible control and lots of health questions.

    If Reyes is healthy (and that’s a massive if), the Dodgers probably just got a bargin. Only other teams I’d trust more in turning around a pitcher is the Rays and Guardians.

      Cesspool? Lol if St Louis is a cesspool you haven’t been to many cities. Plus st Louis always draws good attendance and has a passionate fan base. Memphis, flint, Oakland, Bridgeport, and Gary are all far worse cities I’ve seen. I’m not even a Cardinals fan but let me guess, you are a cubs fan who loves to troll the Cardinals fans.

    Not surprised that the Dodgers would take a chance on Reyes. But with 3 pitchers already on the roster headed for the 60 day IL as soon as they can be placed, I’m surprised that it’s not a minor league deal or being announced after the 60 day IL was available. Now LA has to DFA 2 guys for Reyes and Peralta. Wasting 4 spots out of 40 at this time is not ideal.

      Players on the 60 day IL don’t count against the 40 man so they shouldn’t need to DFA anybody. These deals won’t be made official until the 60 day IL is available.

    I wonder if this will be yet another pitcher who gets paid by the Dodgers without ever throwing a pitch for them. Duffy, Hamels.

    Of course, they’ll be paying Treinen and Buehler this season even though they won’t pitch this season. Bauer of course. Not very efficient. Plenty of guys in the past who didn’t pitch much that they also paid, Jimmy Nelson, Kahnle, Knebel, etc.

    Just make sure to fit his uniform with Street shoes in mind, he’ll be on the IL most of the season and the when he’s not he can borrow someone else’s pieces for those 3 games.
