Reds Add Michael Chavis on Minor League Deal After Japan Stop

Cincinnati signed infielder Chavis to a minor-league deal with a spring invite after his 38-game NPB stint (.171/.267/.352) for Chunichi. The 2014 Red Sox first-rounder hit 18 homers as a 2019 rookie but owns a .238/.283/.401 MLB line (80 wRC+). He’s raked in Triple-A (.270/.339/.483, 103 wRC+) and offers multi-spot insurance behind an uncertain infield if injuries strike.
