Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
The Cincinnati Reds have released right-handed pitcher Josh Staumont, according to his MLB.com transactions tracker. Staumont, 32, was a former second-round pick of the Kansas City Royals who showed promise from 2019-2021 with a 2.93 ERA over 110 2/3 innings, though he struggled with walks (11.4% walk rate) while posting a strong 26.7% strikeout rate.
