    Reds sign Tyler Thornburg to Minor League Deal

    Per Nightengale

    #Reds sign RHP Tyler Thornburg to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training.

    Pretty bad numbers last couple years.

    Mancuso says he worked with Johnson in the past (in Milwaukee). Reclamation project.

    Thornburg was a shut-down guy before thoracic surgery.

    Probably not that guy anymore, but this is a cheap look-see if he can somehow recapture past glory.

    I'm totally for the the signing. Minor league deal is no lose, unless it's one of those that gives him a release if not on opening day roster and a moderately high salary if in the majors.

    As I posted in the Major League Transactions thread, Thornburg picked up 1 MPH on his heater in 2019 over 2018 and is only 1 MPH back from his peak at 2016. If DJ can work with him to reclaim that velo, he could find himself as a fixture in the pen. Certainly seems like the kind of guy who is worth a flyer.
