Reds release Nate Jones; Thom Brennaman resigns
The Cincinnati Reds announced this afternoon at 3:00pm that they have released right-handed reliever Nate Jones. Cincinnati designated Jones for assignment last week and it appears that he had cleared waivers. The Reds opted to release him.
During the 2020 season Nate Jones posted an ERA more than twice as high as his career rate entering the year (3.12 to 6.27). His walk rate and strikeout rates were in line, or better, than his career rates. But he gave up more hits on a per-inning basis than ever before, and his home run rate was through the roof – allowing 2.4 home runs per 9-innings pitched in his 18.2 innings.
