Roansy Contreras, still just 25, will join his second organization of the offseason and third of the past calendar year, showcasing his journeyman status in the league.
Back in 2022, Contreras looked like he was on his way to cementing a long-term place in the Pirates' rotation, pitching 95 innings with a 3.79 ERA and solid strikeout rate.
The full-time move to the 'pen didn't help Contreras regain his previous velocity; he averaged 94.9 mph, down from his previous 96 mph average.
If Contreras lasts the rest of the offseason on the Reds' 40-man roster, he'll compete for a bullpen spot this spring, but must make the Opening Day club.
