Reds signed RHP Sean Gallagher to a minor league contract. |
Gallagher was a decent prospect at one time and will turn just 26 later this month, but his star has faded rapidly. He held a 5.11 ERA and 1.49 WHIP at Triple-A in the Pirates organization in 2011, failing to make it up to the big league level. He's merely organizational depth. |

According to Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com, Sean Gallagher remains under team control for one more season. |
When Gallagher was sent outright to Triple-A Indianapolis last week, the Pirates were working under the assumption that the right-hander would be able to declare himself a minor league free agent on Saturday. Apparently not. Instead, he'll likely be in camp with the club during spring training, |

Wed Nov 3 2010 | 17:05 | Pirates outright Gallagher to Triple-A Indy |
Pirates sent RHP Sean Gallagher outright to Triple-A Indianapolis. |
The Bucs acquired Gallagher in July from the Padres for cash considerations. He went on to post a 6.03 ERA and 1.75 WHIP in 34 1/3 innings with Pittsburgh and has an unclear future in the major leagues. |
Sat Jul 10 2010 | 10:15 | Gallagher to be used in long relief role |
New Pirate Sean Gallagher will be used initially in a long relief role. |
"He's got four pitches, and he's started a lot, so he could be a good fit for us there," manager John Russell said. Gallagher has struggled with walks and consistency in his delivery, but the 24-year-old has swing-and-miss stuff and will likely himself in the team's starting rotation at some point during the second half. |

Wed Jul 7 2010 | 15:40 | Pirates acquire RHP Gallagher from Padres |
Pirates acquired RHP Sean Gallagher from the Padres for cash considerations. |
It's a worthwhile gamble for the Pirates. The former top prospect has a 5.57 ERA over 60 major league appearances, averaging 5.25 BB/9, but he has a full assortment of pitches and the ability to get opposing batters to swing and miss. The Pirates already have a frustrating-yet-talented right-hander in the form of Charlie Morton, now they have another. If one of them pans out, they'd probably be pretty happy. |

Thu Jul 1 2010 | 19:18 | Gallagher designated for assignment |
Padres designated RHP Sean Gallagher for assignment. |
We're betting someone will put a claim in on him. The right-hander is still just 25 years old and has a good arm, but walks have been his undoing at the major league level. Still, there's enough upside here for some team to take a gamble. |
Fri May 28 2010 | 19:25 | Padres activate Gallagher from DL |
Padres activated RHP Sean Gallagher from the 15-day disabled list. |
Gallagher has been on the disabled list since May 4 due to a sprained toe on his left foot. He returns to a 6.92 ERA and 12/13 K/BB ratio over nine relief appearances. |

Sean Gallagher is 0-2 with a 4.91 ERA and a 1.64 WHIP since beginning a rehab assignment two weeks ago at Triple-A Portland. |
The Padres are off to an excellent 26-18 start this season and won't call up Gallagher until he shows that he can be effective against minor league competition. The 24-year-old righty had a 6.92 ERA and a 2.08 WHIP in nine appearances before suffering a sprained toe in early May. |

Sat May 8 2010 | 08:50 | Gallagher close to rejoining Padres |
The San Diego Union-Tribune report that Sean Gallagher (toe) will join Triple-A Portland for his rehab assignment starting Monday. |
Gallagher isn't eligible to be activated until May 19, but if he's well enough to pitch, rehab is a better use of his time than not pitching with the Padres. The former Cub had a 6.92 ERA and a 2.08 WHIP in nine appearances so far this year. |

Tue May 4 2010 | 23:26 | Gallagher (toe) placed on 15-day DL |
Padres placed RHP Sean Gallagher on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained toe on his left foot. |
Gallagher "rammed his toe" into a closet door on a trip to Cincinnati last month and it has bothered him ever since. Hey, at least it wasn't a metal folding chair. There's no current timeline for his return. The 24-year-old right-hander has a 6.92 ERA and 13/12 K/BB ratio over nine relief appearances this season. |
Tue May 4 2010 | 17:40 | Padres' Gallagher to go on DL with toe injury |
Corey Brock of MLB.com reports that the Padres will place reliever Sean Gallagher on the disabled list with a toe injury. |
No word on the specifics of the injury or how long Gallagher may be sidelined. The 24-year-old right-hander has an ugly 6.92 ERA and 13/12 K/BB ratio in nine relief appearances this season. Ryan Webb, who is currently with the team, is expected to take his place on the roster. Webb, a 24-year-old right-hander, has tossed 10 scoreless innings with Triple-A Portland this season. |
