Mondesi will be a free agent after 2023. Dozier, a 31-year-old potentially signed through the 2025 season, has failed to make good on what appeared to be a breakout season in 2019.
General manager Perry Minasian believes there’s still more to do in order to feel content heading into the regular season. Former L.A. Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Anderson was brought in on a multi-year deal after a breakout season with the Freeway Series rivals, and he should play a large role in an Angels rotation that was in need of seasoned leadership.
General Manager Nick Krall has already named four prospects who are locks to be added to the 40-man roster: Shortstop Elly De La Cruz, infielder Noelvi Marte, left-handed starter Brandon Williamson and right-handed starter Levi Stoudt. Kyle Farmer, Cessa, Senzel, Sims, Dunn and Antone are in the group most likely to return, but the Reds are still working through their decisions.
NEW YORK — All-Star closer Edwin Díaz and the New York Mets finalized their $102 million, five-year contract Wednesday — the largest for a reliever in baseball history. Outfielder AJ Pollock declined his $13 million player option with the Chicago White Sox and was among 10 players who became free agents Wednesday, raising the total to 161.
Rookie left-hander Nick Lodolo permitted one run over six innings, rookie Spencer Steer hit a go-ahead homer in the bottom of the eighth inning and rookie Alexis Díaz pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in a 2-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers to avoid being swept in the four-game series. It was his 28th home run of the season and his eighth against the Reds.
Cincinnati Reds reliever Art Warren, who was optioned to Louisville on Sept. 10 and landed on the minor league injured list without appearing in a game due to an elbow injury, recently underwent a procedure to repair his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), Reds manager David Bell told reporters Saturday. Bell said it was not Tommy John surgery.
Mike Minor, unable to play catch without significant pain in his left shoulder, saw his 2022 season come to an end Friday when he was placed on the 15-day injured list. For the 34-year-old left-hander, who struggled all year with a 4-12 record and a 6.06 ERA in his lone season with the Cincinnati Reds, it may represent the end of his 11-year career.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, as the Milwaukee Brewers had one of the best closers in MLB warming up in the bullpen, Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell saw an opportunity. Friedl popped out to first base to end the inning, and Williams got the Brewers another win.
CINCINNATI — Kolten Wong hit a career-high three homers and drove in five runs, helping Brandon Woodruff and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-1 on Thursday night. Wong hit a two-run drive in the second inning against Hunter Greene.
