The Cincinnati Reds quietly checked two important boxes this week — one focused on organizational depth, the other on a clear Major League need — with moves that underscore how this front office is building out the margins of the roster.
Cincinnati re-signed utility man P.J. Higgins to a minor-league contract, according to the club’s transaction log. The 32-year-old become a familiar presence in the Reds’ organization over the last two seasons, serving as a steady, versatile option at Triple-A Louisville. In 2025, he appeared in 111 games for the Bats, hitting .240/.300/.345 with 24 extra-base hits while bouncing all over the diamond.
