Reds’ Alex Young Seeking Second Opinion; Elbow Surgery Possible

By Steve Adams | March 18, 2025 at 12:53pm CDT

Left-hander Alex Young, in camp with the Reds on a non-roster deal this spring, is headed for a second opinion on an elbow injury, reports Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Tommy John surgery is a possible outcome, per the report.

Young has pitched with the Reds in each of the past two seasons. Cincinnati flipped him to San Francisco last July in a deal netting outfielder Austin Slater. The Mets wound up claiming Young off waivers and non-tendering him in the offseason, at which point the Reds re-signed him to his current minor league pact.

Though he’s bounced around the league in journeyman fashion of late, Young has been quietly effective across the past three seasons. He’s pitched 96 big league innings between the Guardians, Giants, Reds and Mets during that time and turned in a 3.28 ERA with a 20.5% strikeout rate and 9% walk rate.

Young has had a rough camp in 2025, though the elbow injury likely explains his struggles. He made his spring debut on Feb. 22, tossing a scoreless outing, and then was out of game action until March 4. He got back into another game on March 8 but allowed a combined six runs in two innings between those two final appearances before getting imaging performed on his ailing elbow.

Young has pitched in parts of six major league seasons and has more than four years of MLB service. In 277 2/3 innings, he has a career 4.34 ERA with 24 holds and a save.

Nationals Return Rule 5 Pick Evan Reifert To Rays

By Steve Adams | March 18, 2025 at 11:04am CDT

The Nationals have returned Rule 5 Draft pick Evan Reifert to the Rays, per announcements from both clubs. Washington’s 40-man roster is now at 39 players. The right-hander is back in the Rays organization and will not count against Tampa Bay’s 40-man roster. The fact that Reifert is being returned to the Rays indicates that he first cleared waivers after being made available to the league’s other 28 teams.

The 25-year-old Reifert (26 in May) signed with the Brewers as an undrafted free agent in 2020 and was traded to the Rays a bit more than a year later in exchange for infielder Mike Brosseau. He made his way to Double-A in 2024, pitching 41 1/3 innings of 1.96 ERA ball with an eye-popping 40.4% strikeout rate against a 9.9% walk rate. Despite the gaudy strikeout rate, Reifert was left unprotected last November and was the fifth player off the board in December’s Rule 5 Draft.

Last year’s 9.9% walk rate was higher than average but still far and away the best mark of Reifert’s career. He walked 14% of his opponents in 2021, 12.5% in 2022 and 37% in 2023 (in a tiny sample of 7 2/3 innings). Command has long been an issue, and that was again the case during spring training. Reifert issued a dozen walks and tossed three wild pitches in just 6 1/3 innings (39 batters faced).

Reifert has yet to pitch in Triple-A, but he’ll presumably do so this season. If the Rays can get his walk numbers back to even the 10-12% range, he has the potential to be an impactful big league reliever. The 6’4″ righty features a heater in the 94-97 range and an overpowering slider that MLB.com credits as a 70-grade pitch (on the 20-80 scale). FanGraphs touts that slider as a legitimate 80-grade offering … but couples it with 30-grade command.

Report: No Major League Offers For Verdugo This Offseason

By Steve Adams | March 18, 2025 at 10:54am CDT

Alex Verdugo is one of the most prominent names still lingering on the free agent market, and it doesn’t sound as though he’s been close to coming off the board at any point. Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports that Verdugo has yet to receive a formal major league offer from any team since becoming a free agent back in November. Kuty chatted with now-former teammates Aaron Judge, Anthony Volpe, Marcus Stroman and Trent Grisham about the situation, each of whom expressed surprise that Verdugo is unsigned and spoke highly of him as a teammate and member of the Yankees’ 2024 clubhouse.

Verdugo has drawn at least some interest from big league teams this winter — the Pirates, Angels and Astros among them. While Verdugo may not have received a formal written offer, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported recently that Pittsburgh “floated” a number around $8MM in discussions with the outfielder before pivoting to sign Tommy Pham for a year and $4.05MM. It’s not clear whether Verdugo didn’t find that number appealing or whether the Bucs preferred to spread out their limited resources. They signed Pham and Andrew Heaney for a combined $9.3MM.

The Astros were known to be looking for left-handed-hitting outfield help, but the front office has spent the offseason facing payroll limitations. Owner Jim Crane was seemingly only willing to exceed the luxury tax for Alex Bregman and Bregman alone. Houston was only about $5-6MM shy of the tax threshold when Ben Gamel was signed to a one-year, $1.2MM deal that seemingly closed the door on any potential match with Verdugo.

Verdugo, 29 in May, is coming off the worst full season of his career. His lone year with the Yankees resulted in a .233/.291/.356 batting line that clocked in 17% worse than average, by measure of wRC+. That paltry end-of-season line comes despite a terrific start to his 2024 campaign. Through mid-May, Verdugo was batting .275/.362/.450 in 141 plate appearances. He fell into a deep slump shortly thereafter and never really managed to recover; over his final 480 trips to the plate, he mustered only a .221/.270/.330 output. The only qualified hitters with a lower wRC+ than Verdugo’s mark of 69 during that time (indicating he was 31% below par at the plate) were Maikel Garcia and Bryan De La Cruz.

Even with that rough year, however, it’s still a moderate surprise that Verdugo’s market has been so quiet. He’s more than a year shy of his 30th birthday, and from 2019-23 he was a solid regular, hitting a combined .283/.338/.432 with solid or better corner outfield defense. He averaged two to three wins above replacement per 162 games played during that stretch. He might not be an All-Star like some had envisioned during his yearslong run as one of the sport’s top 100 prospects, but Verdugo has generally been a serviceable regular outside of his rough 2024 campaign.

At this point, it seems he might need to wait for an injury to create an opportunity for him. While there are still several teams that could clearly use a corner outfield upgrade, most clubs in that situation have either spent the bulk of their offseason budgets (e.g. Royals) or shown little to no interest whatsoever in spending this winter (e.g. Marlins).

Cardinals Mulling Six-Man Rotation

By Steve Adams | March 17, 2025 at 11:25am CDT

The Cardinals are considering opening the season with a six-man rotation, manager Oliver Marmol revealed this morning (link via John Denton of MLB.com). Doing so would allow the club to get righty Michael McGreevy some starts alongside Sonny Gray, Erick Fedde, Miles Mikolas, Andre Pallante and Steven Matz.

St. Louis has a veteran-laden rotation that includes two pitchers (Gray, Mikolas) who might’ve been trade candidates this winter were it not for full no-trade protection in both of their deals. Matz’s $12MM salary made him difficult for the Cards to move as well, and the team chose not to deal Fedde despite the right-hander having just one season left on his contract as the organization enters something of a transition year that was intended to focus on developing younger players.

McGreevy, 24, was the Cardinals’ first-round pick back in 2021 and made a brief MLB debut in 2024, tossing 23 innings with a 1.96 ERA and an 18-to-2 K/BB ratio. He also pitched to a 4.02 earned run average with a 21.6% strikeout rate, 6.9% walk rate and 49% ground-ball rate in 150 Triple-A frames. He currently ranks 10th among Cardinals prospects at Baseball America and 11th at MLB.com. He’s also already made 51 starts at the Triple-A level over the past two seasons and thus has little left to prove at the top minor league level.

So far in camp, McGreevy has pitched 11 2/3 innings and held opponents to a pair of runs on nine hits. He hasn’t walked any of the 43 batters he’s faced and has kept the ball on the ground at a nice 47.1% clip, though his 18.6% strikeout rate is a ways below average. Be that as it may, it’s been an undeniably strong camp for a former first-rounder who looks largely ready for an earnest big league audition.

There are obviously factors that could yet change the composition of a potential six-man group. Injuries are abundant this time of year and could impact any rotation at any point. The Cards were at least reported to be “open” to offers on Fedde earlier this month, though there’s no real indication they’re seriously pursuing a trade of the affordable right-hander, who’s earning $7.5MM this year. They’ve also been considering left-hander and former top prospect Matthew Liberatore for rotation work, although president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said late last week that at least initially, the expectation was that Liberatore would break camp as a reliever (link via Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch).

A’s Option Esteury Ruiz, J.T. Ginn

By Steve Adams | March 17, 2025 at 10:14am CDT

The A’s optioned several names to Triple-A Las Vegas last night, including outfielder Esteury Ruiz, rotation hopeful J.T. Ginn, infielder Darell Hernaiz, and righties Elvis Alvarado and Grant Holman. Infielder Alejo Lopez and lefty Matt Krook, both former big leaguers in camp on non-roster deals, were also reassigned to minor league camp. All of those cuts were announced by the team.

Ruiz, 26, was the Athletics’ primary center fielder in 2023 and swiped a gaudy 67 bases that season but did so while batting only .254/.309/.345 in 132 games (497 plate appearances). Though he was one of several key players acquired in the Athletics’ slate of rebuild-focused trades — regrettably coming over in a three-way deal that sent star catcher William Contreras, whom the A’s could’ve kept, to the Brewers — Ruiz has fallen a ways down the team’s depth chart since that original acquisition.

Injury played a role in his drop down the pecking order, as he missed the bulk of the 2024 campaign with a wrist strain. Ruiz logged 29 games and 65 plate appearances in the majors and delivered only a feeble .200/.270/.382 output at the plate. He hit .345/.425/.596 in 73 minor league plate appearances last year, but he’s long had eye-catching numbers in the upper minors that haven’t carried over to MLB, where he’s a .243/.297/.343 hitter in 598 plate appearances. Ruiz didn’t do himself any favors this spring, hitting .121/.171/.152 in 35 trips to the plate during Cactus League play.

The A’s locked Lawrence Butler up on a long-term extension and saw JJ Bleday turn in a breakout performance at the plate last season. That leaves two of their three outfield spots spoken for in the long-term. Bleday is miscast as a center fielder, so perhaps there’s room for Ruiz to work his way back into that role, but prospects like Colby Thomas, Denzel Clarke and Henry Bolte are all on the cusp of MLB readiness as well. At least for the early stages of the 2025 campaign, it looks like the A’s will go with a left field platoon of Seth Brown and Miguel Andujar.

In the rotation, Ginn heads back to Triple-A on the heels of a tough spring. The righty’s final outing was excellent — four innings of one-run ball with seven punchouts — but he still served up 13 runs (11 earned) in 13 innings while walking 12.5% of his opponents. The 25-year-old is a former second-round pick whom the A’s acquired in the trade sending Chris Bassitt to the Mets. He was hit relatively hard between Double-A and Triple-A last year but turned in a decent blend of strikeout, walk and ground-ball rates (21.2%, 8.8% and 54.1%, respectively). He held his own with a 4.24 ERA in his first 34 MLB frames last summer as well.

With Ginn being sent out, it increasingly appears as though the Athletics’ season-opening rotation will include Luis Severino, Jeffrey Springs, JP Sears, Osvaldo Bido and Mitch Spence. A late injury could always change that, and the A’s still have one possible rotation alternative in camp in the form of Joey Estes, who’s had a decent Cactus League run this spring.

Hernaiz, acquired in the trade of Cole Irvin to Baltimore, became a long shot for the roster after the A’s signed both Gio Urshela and Luis Urias to major league contracts this winter. Jacob Wilson and Zack Gelof are lined up in the middle infield, while Urias and Urshela can handle third base and move around to multiple infield positions. Hernaiz hit well in Triple-A last year (.331/.376/.493) but mustered only a .192/.261/.242 line in his first 135 MLB plate appearances. His spring output wasn’t much more encouraging — .194/.302/.306 in 43 plate appearances — so he’ll had back to the minors for more work.

Offseason In Review: Milwaukee Brewers

By Steve Adams | March 14, 2025 at 5:05pm CDT

The Brewers followed a heartbreaking postseason exit with an offseason punctuated by the departure of a franchise shortstop, the trade of a star closer, and severe payroll restrictions from ownership.

Major League Signings

  • Jose Quintana, LHP: One year, $4.25MM
  • Tyler Alexander, LHP: One year, $1MM
  • Elvin Rodriguez, RHP: One year, $900K (plus $1.35MM club option for 2026)
  • Grant Wolfram, RHP: One year (split major league deal)

2025 spending: $6.15MM
Total spending: $6.15MM

Option Decisions

  • RHP Frankie Montas declined $20MM mutual option (Montas received $4MM buyout)
  • 1B Rhys Hoskins exercised $18MM player option
  • Team declined $12MM mutual option on LHP Wade Miley (Miley received $1.5MM buyout)
  • Team declined $11MM mutual option on C Gary Sanchez (Sanchez received $4MM buyout)
  • Team exercised $8MM club option on RHP Freddy Peralta
  • Team declined $5.5MM club option on RHP Colin Rea (Rea received $1MM buyout)

Trades and Waiver Claims

  • Acquired LHP Nestor Cortes and INF Caleb Durbin from Yankees in exchange for RHP Devin Williams
  • Acquired RHP Grant Anderson from Rangers in exchange for LHP Mason Molina
  • Traded INF Owen Miller to Rockies in exchange for cash

Extensions

  • None

Minor League Signings

  • Mark Canha, Manuel Margot, Jake Bauers, Jorge Alfaro, Tyler Jay, Bruce Zimmermann, Deivi Garcia, Vinny Nittoli, Jesus Liranzo, Thomas Pannone, Jared Oliva

Notable Losses

  • Devin Williams, Willy Adames, Frankie Montas, Colin Rea, Joe Ross, Gary Sanchez, Owen Miller

The Brewers didn't come right out and say it, but their early offseason activity was a portent for what became a glaring, obvious lack of financial resources for the baseball operations department. The decisions to decline pricey options on injured lefty Wade Miley (who had Tommy John surgery in late April) and backup catcher Gary Sanchez didn't come as a surprise.

However, many Milwaukee fans were surprised to see the team place righty Colin Rea on outright waivers when he was a net $4.5MM call for them. The decision was perhaps justified originally when Rea cleared waivers and had his option declined, but the $5MM deal he eventually signed with the Cubs was larger than the net amount he'd have cost the Brewers to retain. The Brewers followed that with another somewhat surprising move to non-tender southpaw reliever Hoby Milner, who was projected for a $2.7MM salary. The 34-year-old's 4.73 ERA was rocky, of course, but he posted terrific K-BB% numbers and had given the Brew Crew 129 innings of 2.79 ERA ball across the 2022-23 seasons.

Reds Notes: Third Base, Steer, Singer

By Steve Adams | March 14, 2025 at 4:25pm CDT

The question of how the Reds will divide their playing time at third base has loomed large over camp. Some clarity was gained earlier this month when Noelvi Marte was optioned to Triple-A Louisville, but that still left several veterans vying for time at the position. Manager Terry Francona shed some light on the matter this week when he told the team’s beat that Gavin Lux, Jeimer Candelario and Santiago Espinal will all see time at the position (link via Mark Sheldon of MLB.com).

There won’t be a strict platoon, and all three players come with the benefit of being able to handle multiple positions. Lux figures to see some time at second base and in left field. Espinal can play anywhere in the infield. Candelario plays both infield corners. Francona praised Lux, who’s less familiar with the position than his two teammates, in particular and noted that he’s adjusted to the position well. It sounds as though the Reds won’t have a set third baseman or even a set two-man platoon at the hot corner, with pitching matchups and defensive preferences (depending on who the Reds send to the mound that day) all coming into play.

The manner in which playing time at those other spots is divided up naturally hinges on the health of a versatile roster. One key player in that equation is infielder/outfielder Spencer Steer, who’s been sidelined by discomfort in his right shoulder. Steer hasn’t appeared in an official spring game since Feb. 27, though Francona said over the weekend that the 27-year-old had shown “marked improvement” after being shut down for a bit.

Steer is once again swinging a bat, writes Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and he’s feeling no pain when doing so. He tells Wittenmyer he thinks being ready for Opening Day is a distinct possibility, though Francona took a more measured approach. While the skipper wouldn’t rule it out, he emphasized that they’re “going to do this right” and that Steer would only be on the roster if he’s fully healthy. A trip to the injured list would somewhat remarkably be the first IL stint for Steer in either the big leagues or the minors. He was drafted by the Twins out of Oregon in 2019 (and traded to Cincinnati in exchange for Tyler Mahle).

A healthy Steer will be all the more important now that Tyler Stephenson appears headed for the injured list. Steer and Stephenson represent two of the Reds’ better hitters, both capable of hitting 20-plus homers and delivering offense 10 to 15% better than league-average. Steer can conceivably factor in at any of the four corner positions or second base. The team could still take the cautious route and place him on the injured list, but it’s notable that things are trending in an encouraging direction.

On the pitching side of things, offseason acquisition Brady Singer talked with MLB Network’s Mark DeRosa (video link) about his surprise over being traded from the Royals to the Reds this offseason and detailed some changes he’s made to his repertoire this spring after working with the Reds’ staff. He also spoke highly of his early impressions working with a future Hall of Fame manager, Terry Francona.

The incorporation of a cutter is of particular note, given that Singer has predominantly been a two-pitch starter to this point in his career. He’s thrown a sinker 51% of the time on a big league mound and a slider at a 41% clip. Singer has at time tinkered with a changeup, and he worked a four-seamer into the mix at an 11.6% clip last year, but he’s never thrown a cutter in the majors.

Finding a usable third pitch could help Singer to combat his susceptibility to home runs; while he’s averaged a respectable 1.10 HR/9 in his career, he’s had a pronounced split between his rate at Kansas City’s spacious Kauffman Stadium (0.85 HR/9) versus his rate on the road (1.36). Moving to the sport’s most homer-friendly venue could prove difficult in that regard, but if the cutter proves effective, the more varied arsenal should help keep opponents off balance.

Mariners Release Neftali Feliz

By Steve Adams | March 14, 2025 at 1:09pm CDT

The Mariners announced Friday that they’ve released veteran right-hander Neftali Feliz. He’d been in camp as a non-roster invitee this spring but is once again a free agent. Seattle also optioned righty Will Klein to Triple-A Tacoma and reassigned non-roster players Samad Taylor and Nick Dunn to minor league camp.

Feliz, 37 in May, hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since 2021 and has just four MLB frames to his credit since the 2017 season. The 2010 American League Rookie of the Year has spent the past few years pitching in the Mexican League and in the Dominican Winter League. He embarked on a comeback bid with the Mariners and pitched four official innings during Cactus League play, yielding three runs on six hits and no walks with one strikeout.

During his three-year run in an extraordinarily hitter-friendly Mexican League, he’s pitched quite well. He’s pitched out of the bullpen for four different clubs and logged a 2.37 ERA with a 26.3% strikeout rate and 9.8% walk rate in 121 2/3 innings. He’s consistently pitched well with a pair of winter ball clubs as well.

At his peak, Feliz averaged better than 96 mph on his heater — he sat 92-94 mph with his four-seamer in his final Mariners outing this spring — and fanned more than 28% of his opponents on the strength of a hearty 14.1% swinging-strike rate. Injuries, most notably including Tommy John surgery and ulnar nerve palsy, slowed his career. He posted a dominant 2.53 ERA with 87 saves and 12 holds in 241 2/3 frames through his age-26 season but has managed only 151 big league innings with a 5.16 earned run average since.

Another club can now speculate on Feliz if his work in Mariners camp intrigued them, and it’s also feasible that he could return for a fourth year in Mexico, given the success he’s had there dating back to 2022.
