Not sure if the deal was ever final

When he was in his first couple seasons with the Braves he really pitched some dandy spot starts. He wasn’t a regular member of the rotation, but would be called upon once in a while and pitched very well.
I don’t know whats happened to him since he went to the AL, but as long as his arm is sound bringing him in on a minor league deal would be a great idea.

It’s just one of those typical boring signs every team makes this time of year. No reason to get excited one way or the other.

This guy was widely regarded as a solid prospect and few teams took a shot on him on their major league roster. If he pitches 0 innings for the Pirates this year or 50 innings in relief vs leftys this is a good high upside signing.

Reyes always has had good “stuff” he just never has been able to put it all together. He is the type of pitcher that is good for organizational depth because he has experience and still has a small chance to be more valuable.
