The Cincinnati Reds signed Rob Wooten, the former Louisville Bat and 13th round draft pick of the Milwaukee Brewers, to a minor-league contract on Tuesday. It’s highly unlikely that Wooten will compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he can provide depth in the Reds’ minor-league system.
There’s nothing spectacular or flashy about Wooten’s Major League career. Since being drafted by the Brewers in 2013, Wooten has only appeared in 71 career games, all out of the bullpen. The right-handed from Chapel Hill, North Carolina has a career ERA of 5.
