Someone is going to have to log innings for the Cincinnati Reds in 2022, and it appears Mike Minor is going to be tasked with that job.
The Reds continued their tumultuous overhaul on Wednesday with a move that came out of the blue - acquiring Minor from the Kansas City Royals in a deal that saw reliever Amir Garrett go the other way. The Reds broke the news on Twitter themselves.
Considering Minor is owed some $10 million this year with a $1 million buyout of an option for the 2023 season, it was no surprise to hear that cash is coming back to the Reds in this deal, too.
