Josh Harrison: Exercises opt-out
Josh Harrison was released by the Reds on Monday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.Harrison was told he wasn't going to make the Opening Day roster and exercised the opt-out clause in his minor-league contract rather than reporting to Triple-A Louisville. The veteran utility player will now look to latch on elsewhere, although he might have a difficult time finding a major-league deal coming off an age-35 campaign in which he posted a .554 OPS over 114 plate appearances with the Phillies.

Reds' Josh Harrison: Versality helps
Josh Harrison is projected for a roster spot, per the latest roster projection from C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic.The 80-game suspension handed out to Noelvi Marte opens up a roster spot that figures to come down to Harrison, Mike Ford or Tony Kemp. Rosecrans makes the point that of those three, Harrison provides the most versatility. He started games at four different defensive positions for the Phillies in 2023. Harrison is 3-for-16 with a double and an RBI in seven games this spring.

Reds' Josh Harrison: Nets NRI from Cincinnati
Josh Harrison's agency announced Monday that he agreed to a minor-league contract with the Cincinnati Reds that includes an invitation to major-league spring training.Cincinnati doesn't represent the best fit for Harrison from a playing-time perspective, given how flush the Reds are with young infield talent. However, the fact that Harrison is from Cincinnati surely factored into his decision to join his hometown ball club. The 36-year-old slashed just .204/.263/.291 in 40 games with the Phillies in 2023 and also spent a brief time at Triple-A Round Rock in the Rangers organization. Per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, Harrison will make $1.5 million if in the majors and his deal has a March 21 opt-out.

Rangers' Josh Harrison: Latches on with Rangers
Josh Harrison signed a minor-league contract with the Texas Rangers on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.Harrison was released by the Phillies earlier this month following an unsuccessful 41-game stint which saw him slash a lowly .204/.263/.291. The 36-year-old utility player provides infield depth for a Rangers team that will be without Josh Jung (thumb) for a while, but it won't be ideal if he winds up having to play a significant role with the big club.
