Mike Minor pitched reasonably well in what, in theory, was supposed to be his final start as a member of the Cincinnati Reds. Given all of the money-shedding the team did all winter, it was always odd as hell that they even sought out a deal to bring in Minor this year, and his injuries and underperformance so far this season certainly haven’t even gone to the plan that made no sense in the first place.
Anyway, you’d imagine that he was brought in as a buy-low innings-eater who could, in theory, be flipped at the deadline for something far-off to be a back-end guy for a team hunting the playoffs.
