Reds keep raiding Wake Forest pitching lab with latest signing

The Cincinnati Reds made a couple of under-the-radar signings this week. According to the team's transactions log, the Reds signed a pair of free agent right-handed pitchers — Griffen Green and Connor O'Hara.

Green spent last season at Wake Forest, a university that has produced the Reds' top draft picks in two of the past three years. Cincinnati selected Rhett Lowder with the No. 7-overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, and Chase Burns was taken second-overall in 2024.

Unlike both Lowder and Burns, Green is not a starting pitcher. The 24-year-old appeared in 26 games for the Demon Deacons in 2025 and started just once.
