The Reds signed Thompson to a one-year, $1.5 million deal on November 4th and then designated him for assignment just two months later without ever throwing a pitch for them. The 30-year-old spent all of 2025 in Triple-A for the Cubs, but he had posted a 3.64 ERA in 227 1/3 innings for the Cubs from 2021-24. This is a nice gamble for the Rockies.

Thompson signed a one-year, $1.3 million contract with Cincinnati last month. The 30-year-old righty didn’t appear in the big leagues this past season after making 104 appearances for the Cubs since the start of 2021. The Reds are presumably hoping he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and remain with the organization heading into spring training.

The Cincinnati Enquirer’s Gordon Wittenmyer reports that it’s a split contract that will pay $1.3 million while Thompson is in the majors. The 30-year-old Thompson had a 3.64 ERA in 227 1/3 innings for the Cubs from 2021-24 before failing to make the team last spring and spending the entire season at Triple-A Iowa, where he had a 4.50 ERA and an 83/25 K/BB in 64 innings. If he proves successful out of the pen, the Reds will retain his arbitration rights through 2028.
