The Reds have added a potentially intriguing player while losing a bullpen arm.
Drew Storen hasn’t pitched since Sept. 1. He was placed on the disabled list last week and will require Tommy John surgery, sidelining him for next season as well.
Storen’s contract expires this offseason.
The Reds claimed first baseman/corner outfielder D.J. Peterson from the White Sox. Peterson won’t report to the major league team, but he presents some upside.
Once a heralded prospect in the Mariners system, Peterson has since lost his luster. Cincinnati is taking a no-risk, medium-reward wager that he can show some of the promise he had in the minors.
