Aaron Wilkerson has agreed to a minor league contract with the Cincinnati Reds after a promising stint in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) with the Lotte Giants. Previously a pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers, Wilkerson achieved a 2.26 ERA in his final season there, significantly improving from his earlier major league performance. With the KBO's limitations on foreign players leading to his exit from the Giants, Wilkerson aims to contribute as either a rotation starter or long relief option in the Reds' Triple-A roster.
Wilkerson spent a season and a half with the Giants, posting a 2.26 ERA over 13 starts in the second half of the '23 season.
