The Cincinnati Reds have made a waiver claim on right-hander Roansy Contreras, landing the former Top 100 overall prospect off waivers. He’d been placed there by the Texas Rangers a week ago as procedure following the club designating him for assignment, with Texas having previously claimed Contreras off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels at the end of October.
If you follow Top 100 overall prospect lists, you run into players like Contreras time and time again - talented guys who get promoted rapidly but just don’t catch on at the big league level as teams would hope.
