The Reds signed Bubba Crosby to a one year, $400,000 deal.  This isn’t too earth shattering because Crosby is a career .216 hitter with a .255 on base percentage.  He’s spent most of his travelling between New York to play with the Yankees and their Triple A affiliate (which has moved, but it’s been in Columbus).  At best, he could be a fifth outfield option that’s pretty inexpensive.  He’s also a lefty which might help him find a part time spot in the starting 25.

Here’s an update on how Reds prospects are doing in winter ball.  William Bergolla has been tearing it up and Jonathon Countlangus has been solid in some limited time on the mound.
