• Tony Kemp: Cut by Reds

  08/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Reds released Kemp on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Kemp signed a minor-league deal with the Reds in July, but he'll now have to search for another opportunity after slashing .237/.338/.364 with 17 RBI across 139 plate appearances with Triple-A Louisville. The 32-year-old has been able to put up solid numbers overall in Triple-A this season (.773 OPS), so he should have little trouble latching on with another team as organizational depth.

Kemp will report to Triple-A Louisville, but the Reds are dealing with a plethora of injuries and could require the 32-year-old utility man's versatility in near future.
