Hunter Strickland - Agrees to deal with Reds Strickland came to terms Tuesday with the Reds on a one-year, major-league contract, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact A one-time closer for the Giants who first rose to prominence as a fireballing setup man for San Francisco in its 2014 run to the World Series, Strickland looked to be on his way to washing out of the big leagues before reviving his career in 2021. Over stops with the Rays, Angels and Brewers last season, Strickland registered a 2.61 ERA and 1.16 WHIP while striking out nearly a batter per inning across 57 appearances, but some of his underlying metrics (4.16 FIP, 14.9 K-BB%, 34.8 GB%) painted a less rosy picture of his performance. Even so, Strickland enters a Reds bullpen lacking in impact arms, so he could find himself in a high-leverage role to begin the season.

Steven Brault - Dealing with triceps issue Brault is dealing with a triceps injury, which explains why his contract with the Cubs was converted to a minor-league deal Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Brault missed the end of last season with a lat strain, but the physical he took while signing a deal with the Cubs revealed a separate issue. He won't be able to throw for at least two weeks, which takes him out of the running for the Opening Day roster.
