Reds signed RHP Keegan Thompson to a one-year contract.

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.
