Reds Sign Cam Bedrosian to a Minor League Contract

[Bourgeois Zee]

Still only 29.

Decent numbers.

Low risk.

I think you mean Cam Cam.

By signing the kids of Steve Bedrosian, Dwight Smith, and Flash Gordon, the Reds are leading the league this offseason in acquiring second generation players via minor league contracts.

I like where Bedrosian fits in the bullpen (assuming he makes the squad).

Doolittle will almost assuredly close.
Garrett and Sims will be the LH and RH set-up men.
Bedrosian and Antone (or Lorenzen) fit in as firemen/ middle relief arms.
Then there's DeLeon, Noe Ramirez, and Hoffman as long relief/ upside arms.
Finally, Romano first, then some combination of the Perezes, O'Brien, Bailey, Santillan, and other 40-man roster guys as depth.

The issue, like last year, is obviously minor league options. Only Antone has them.

Stolen from some random on Twitter:

Here are the pitchers with the most spin-induced carry on their fastballs from 2020 (min. 100 fastballs):

5) Cam Bedrosian: 19.7"
4) Trevor Bauer: 19.8"
3) Wes Benjamin: 19.9"
2) Triston McKenzie: 20.1"
1) James Karinchak: 20.5"

I guess we know who we're targeting for pitching acquisitions now.

Reds going to trade Senzel, Stephenson, Garcia, Greene, India, Lodolo, and Siani to the Tribe for McKenzie and Karnichak

The thing with Bedrosian is you could have him start the season at AAA since he is on a minor league deal. While you sort things out at MLB level. Except a lot of these guys have clauses that allow them to be released if not on big league club.

I expect Servo to endorse this move as we get to make numerous Cambot references if Bedrosian makes the team.
