The Reds are signing right-handed pitcher Albert Abreu to a minor-league contract, according to Robert Murray of FanSided.com.

Abreu pitched in Japan last season and had a 2.39 ERA over 49 innings.

The right-hander spent time with the Yankees, Rangers, and Royals over four seasons, appearing in 108 games with a 4.58 ERA.

He last pitched in the majors for the Yankees in 2023, appearing in 45 games and posting a 4.73 ERA with 61 strikeouts over 59 innings.

The 29-year-old is probably a long shot to make the team out of spring training, but adds to Cincinnati's pitching depth.
