The Cincinnati Reds have made another roster cut, sending right-handed pitcher Josh Staumont to minor league camp. This decision raises some intriguing questions about the team's direction and the state of their pitching staff as we approach the regular season.
Staumont's performance last season with the Minnesota Twins was decent, boasting a 3.70 ERA and not allowing a single home run. However, his struggles with control—14 walks in just over 24 innings—might have played a role in this reassignment. With the Reds still carrying a hefty number of players in camp, it seems like the competition is heating up.
What do you think this means for the Reds' pitching depth? Are they making the right moves as they trim the roster, or are they risking losing potential talent? With injuries plaguing pitchers across the league, how should the Reds approach their final roster decisions?
Additionally, what are your thoughts on the overall health of the pitching staff? With names like Rhett Lowder and Nick Lodolo being mentioned, do you think the Reds have enough reliable arms to compete this season?
Let’s also talk about the broader implications of injuries in baseball. Are we seeing a trend that could change how teams manage their pitchers? Could we be on the brink of a new era in player health management, or is this just the nature of the game?
