The offseason always features a bevy of transactions and roster moves, and the Cincinnati Reds jumped into that process head-first on Friday with a series of notable moves. They announced that both Brandon Dixon (Detroit Tigers) and Austin Brice (Los Angeles Angels) had been claimed on waivers, that they had claimed RHP Matthew Bowman (St. Louis Cardinals), and that each of Dilson Herrera and Mason Williams had cleared waivers and been outrighted off the 40-man roster to AAA Louisville.
Also, in a set of procedural moves, they activated each of Alex Blandino, Keury Mella, and Jesse Winker from the 60-day DL, bringing the 40-man roster total to 38.
