  11/27/2022 • By RotoWire

  Aquino signed a contract with the Chunichi Dragons of Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan on Sunday, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports. Aquino was designated for assignment by the Reds in mid-November and has opted to continue his professional career overseas. He had a .197/.246/.363 slash line with 10 home runs in 80 games during 2022, though he was one of the best defensive right fielders in MLB and accumulated 1.9 dWAR despite the limited playing time.

  Aquino was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday. Aquino struggled to get anything going last season, slashing .197/.246/.363 over 276 plate appearances. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, he will presumably return to Triple-A Louisville, where he had much more success at the plate (1.108 OPS).

Mike Siani will be flanked in the outfield by Stuart Fairchild and Jake Fraley in the season finale while Aquino sits for the fifth time in seven games. Over his last 15 games, Aquino has hit .167 with a 34.5 percent strikeout rate.
