In a weird announcement at 2:30pm the Cincinnati Reds announced that they’ve optioned right-handed pitcher Jose De Leon and catcher Tyler Stephenson to Triple-A Louisville. Those moves leave the Reds with 48 players “in big league camp”. Of course, those last four words are weird, because spring training is shut down and it has been for several days now. And no one has the slightest clue as to when things will resume, either.
For Tyler Stephenson, who is the Reds #3 prospect and was added to the 40-man roster this past offseason, he wasn’t competing for a spot on the roster unless someone got hurt.
