Reds released 1B/OF Wil Myers.
Myers was designated for assignment by the Reds earlier this week and will now be eligible to join a new team at the major league minimum. The Reds had high hopes when they signed the 32-year-old to a one-year, $7.5 million deal this offseason, but he hit just .189 with three homers over 37 games and the team ended up having better internal options at their disposal. He’s had some bad luck with injuries this year too, so surely another team will scoop him up in hopes of a return to form.
