Blake Wood has been the Reds’ most reliable reliever
During the offseason, the Reds made only one major-league signing, and it was hardly a big move.
On November 20, the team inked Blake Wood, a relatively unknown 30-year-old right-handed reliever, to a one-year deal worth $600,000.
While there was certainly upside in Wood and his power arm, the move got little fanfare, as he had pitched in a mere nine big-league games after undergoing Tommy John surgery in May of 2012.
