Reds Claim Bubba Thompson Off Waivers From Twins
10 months agoThe Cincinnati Reds claimed outfielder Bubba Thompson off waivers from the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday and designated right-hander Levi Stoudt for assignment in a corresponding move. Thompson has been passed around this offseason but will return to the Reds after they cut him two months earlier. The 25-year-old former first-rounder played in 92 games for the Texas Rangers the last two years and hit .242/.286/.305 with only one home run, 13 RBI, 22 stolen bases and 28 runs scored in 241 plate appearances. Thompson is mainly attractive for his defense in the outfield and his speed, but he won't be on the fantasy radar at all and will most likely open the 2024 season at Triple-A Louisville given the Reds' stacked position player roster.
