Cincinnati Reds Acquire Pitcher Owen White

The Cincinnati Reds have acquired right-handed pitcher Owen White from the Texas Rangers in exchange for cash considerations. White, 25, has had a challenging start to his MLB career, with a 16.71 ERA in five appearances over the past two seasons and a disappointing 5.64 ERA in 2024 at Triple-A Round Rock. Once a highly regarded prospect, ranked as high as 62nd overall on Top 100 lists, White was designated for assignment by the Rangers before the trade. Despite his struggles, he posted 87 strikeouts in 99 innings during the last season and has options remaining, allowing him to potentially start the 2025 season at Triple-A Louisville. The Reds' 40-man roster is now full with this addition. White's acquisition represents a gamble for Cincinnati, hoping to revitalize his career.
