The Toronto Blue Jays parted ways with former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Tanner Roark on Wednesday. After signing the right-hander to a two-year pact following the 2019 season, Roark cleared waivers and was granted his outright release.
This feels like a reunion that Reds management could get behind. After signing a two-year/$24M contract and posting a 6.75 ERA over his last 14 games, Roark won’t be looking to break the bank. Cincinnati GM Nick Krall could probably lure Roark back to the Queen City on a minor-league deal with the opportunity to start.
