Reds non-tendered OF Denis Phipps and INF-OF Kristopher Negron. | ||||||
Two expendable players. Phipps has a little pop and enough range to handle center on a part-time basis, but he just isn't good enough in any one area to carve out a career. The 26-year-old Negron is very versatile, but he's posted OPSs of .607 and .628 in two years in Triple-A. | ||||||

Reds purchased the contract of OF Denis Phipps from Triple-A Louisville. | ||||||
He is now protected from the Rule 5 Draft. Phipps, 26, batted .346/.397/.527 with 12 homers, 64 RBI and a .924 OPS this season between Double-A Carolina and Triple-A Louisville. He's a little old for a prospect and benefitted from an abnormally high batting average on balls in play this season, but the Reds are hopeful the breakout is for real. | ||||||
