Reds Sign Veteran Free Agent After Missing Out on Garrett Crochet Trade
The Cincinnati Reds have bolstered their roster by signing a seasoned free agent, following unsuccessful trade negotiations for Chicago White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet.
The Reds had been pursuing Crochet to add a young, dynamic arm to their bullpen but were unable to strike a deal with the White Sox. In response, the team pivoted to the free agent market, landing an experienced player whose name is expected to be officially announced soon.
This move reflects the Reds’ commitment to strengthening their pitching staff ahead of the upcoming season. While Crochet would have added youth and upside, the addition of a veteran brings reliability and proven performance to the team.
The Reds’ front office remains active as they look to build a competitive roster for 2024, signaling that more moves could be on the horizon. Fans will undoubtedly be watching closely as the offseason continues.
