1 year agoThe Texas Ranger announced Monday that they signed free-agent relief pitcher
Chasen Shreve to a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training. The 33-year-old lefty posted a 4.63 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 23.3% strikeout rate with 12 holds in 44 2/3 innings pitched in 2023 with the Tigers and Reds. While he owns a respectable 3.97 ERA over his 10-season career, he will need to prove that he can still pitch to that level to potentially break camp with the defending World Series champions.

Chasen Shreve to a minor-league deal on Thursday, according to the team's transactions page. Shreve is a 10-year major-league veteran and had a 4.79 ERA (4.06 FIP), 1.38 WHIP, 12 walks and 42 strikeouts in 41 1/3 relief innings for the Detroit Tigers this year before he was released by the team last Friday. The 33-year-old veteran will give the Reds some left-handed relief depth for the rest of the 2023 campaign as they push for a postseason spot. In 10 major-league campaigns with six different teams, Shreve has posted a 3.98 ERA (4.66 FIP), 1.34 WHIP, two saves and a 25.3 percent strikeout rate in 352 2/3 innings pitched.

2 years agoThe Detroit Tigers and free-agent left-handed relief pitcher
Chasen Shreve agreed to a one-year deal Monday with an invitation to spring training, per Detroit News' Chris McCosky. Shreve can earn up to $2 million if he pitches for the Tigers. The 32-year-old only pitched 26 1/3 innings with the New York Mets last season, compiling a poor 6.49 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 25.4% strikeout rate. However, he owns a respectable career 3.87 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 311 1/3 innings pitched. While he may end up bolstering a Tigers bullpen that just traded away
Gregory Soto, it seems unlikely that Shreve will pitch in enough high-leverage situations to be fantasy relevant.
