Former World Series champion Josh Reddick is now playing in Australia, and he still can’t believe one free agent contract he saw.
Former Gold Glove outfielder Josh Reddick has decided to retire from Major League Baseball.
The former Oakland A’s outfielder played in a game for the Savannah Bananas on Saturday.
The 35-year-old Reddick has played in each of the last 13 MLB seasons, suiting up with the Red Sox, Athletics, Dodgers, Astros and Diamondbacks from 2009-21.
Longtime big league outfielder Josh Reddick signed with the Acereros de Monclova of the Mexican League.
Reddick joined the Mets earlier this month, shortly after the Diamondbacks also released the veteran.
His disappointing 2021 showing aside, there’s no risk for the Mets in adding Reddick on a minor league deal. The veteran has generally been a productive hitter over the course of his career.
Reddick figures to find decent interest from other clubs willing to offer him a Triple-A opportunity.
The Arizona Diamondbacks made a slew of roster moves ahead of their Thursday game against the San Francisco Giants. The D-backs reinstated pitcher Taylor Clarke and first baseman/outfielder Pavin Smith from the injured list.
Reddick has more than enough service time to reject a minor-league assignment while retaining what remains of his $750K salary. Assuming he clears waivers, he’ll almost certainly hit free agency.
Every time Reddick came up to bat, he was booed heavily and called a cheater. But the best part came when the Dodgers’ organist played Ace of Base’s “The Sign” for a Reddick at-bat.
The Diamondbacks announced they’ve selected the contract of outfielder Josh Reddick. To create active and 40-man roster space, the team designated reliever Yoan López for assignment.
Reddick will provide some outfield depth to a D-backs team that is missing its best player in Ketel Marte.
Astros outfielder Josh Reddick sounded off this week on the feeling inside the team’s clubhouse.
A federal judge has given the Yankees until noon on Monday to unseal a 2017 letter from Major League Baseball that may link the team to a sign-stealing scandal, and Astros players had a field day reacting to the news.
Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick attempted to zing a Twitter troll by sharing a photo of his World Series ring from 2017, but the case can be made that his retort only reinforced how the team’s sign-stealing scandal egregiously contributed to the ill-gotten championship.
Reddick said Monday his decision to not employ the system had more to do with the fact that he found it distracting than anything else, adding that he didn’t deserve any credit for refusing to use it.
Following backlash over recent comments made about the lack of meaningful baseball games at the Oakland Alameda Coliseum, Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick has now clarified his comments.
