The MLB offseason is winding down and, for the most part, the Cincinnati Reds<\/a> stayed silent. With Spring Training 2023 less than 45 days away, the team has only made a few deals. They signed three minor league players, signed Wil Myers<\/a> to a contract, and designated Mike Moustakas<\/a> for assignment.<\/p>\n

Wil Meyers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wil Myers signed a one-year deal. The veteran gets a $6 million salary for 2023. It also includes a $12 million mutual option for 2024 and a $1.5 million buyout if either side declines the option. He can also earn additional money for plate appearances and would get a one-time $500,000 bonus if traded.<\/p>\n

The move addresses their need for both an improved offense and an extra outfielder. Myers provides plenty of versatility, having started games at first base and all three outfield positions last season. However, injuries have been an issue.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati Reds Want to Forget 2022<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Everyone involved from the front office to Manager David Bell<\/a>, his coaches, and even the fans want to forget about 2022. After trading away key players, the Reds lost 100 games and tied for last place in the NL Central. It was their poorest showing since the 1982 team.<\/p>\n
