The Rundown: Hoyer Strengthens Bullpen, Bellinger Reportedly Available, Soto Could Sign Before Winter Meetings

Has any player been more snakebit by injuries than Brennen Davis? The outfield prospect was designated for assignment with reliever Adbert Alzolay so the Cubs could add Owen Caissie and Ben Cowles to the 40-man sister.

Perhaps the key to Davis getting his mojo back is to sign a minor league deal with the Diamondbacks. That said, if I ran the Reds front office, I’d get Davis signed as soon as possible because nobody has a worse outfield defense than that team. They’d have a diamond in the rough if they could get the athletic outfielder healthy, and Great American Ball Park boosts home run production for right-handed batters by about 26 percent.
