Bronson Arroyo may return to Reds | reds.com

 

 

Arroyo, a 38-year-old free agent, has not pitched since the middle of the 2014 season after he needed Tommy John surgery to repair his right elbow while with the D-backs. He confirmed a WCPO.com report that he recently had breakfast with Cincinnati manager Bryan Price in Arizona and discussed the possibility of joining the rebuilding Reds.

 

 

"It's a good fit for both sides," said Arroyo, who pitched in Cincinnati from 2006-13. "It's such a young staff and it's also an opportunity to pitch in a comfortable place and prove to people I can pitch. The question is, are they interested enough to give me an incentive-based contract that compares with what another team might offer? I don't know what that number should be."

 

The Reds are open to the idea of having Arroyo back in the fold, but it's not a lock that they will sign him.

 

"We had a very positive experience with Bronson when he was here," Reds general manager Dick Williams said. "If he is healthy and able to pitch effectively again, I am sure we would give him consideration."

 

"If the money is the same, Cincinnati is the best place for me to pitch in 2016," Arroyo said. "When you're coming back from not being on a mound for a year and a half, you don't want to be learning a new staff, a new manager and ballpark. In Cincinnati -- I know the city, the people in the organization, the beat writers, the mound and many of the teammates.

WBP.

"If the money is the same"

 

Wait a minute, why would he think the money would be the same? I'm kind of thinking he would be a great influence on the young pitching staff but as more of a player/coach.

He bought this house in Edgewood in September for near $600,000.

I think he would be a great fit to get thru a year or two with these young cats.

At the end of the day it's all about the money.

Link didn't work for me but I knew he purchased a house in the area for him and his girlfriend.

Owners of LBYC are thrilled if he does sign.

1936 Macintosh Lane, right where Amsterdam turns into Highwater before you head down to Ludlow. Never been, but just looked it up.

I know Henry Fischer lives (lived?) back in that area. I'm guessing Bronson has a nice view of the city from there. Cool spot.

Ahh, Villa Hills - not Edgewood. Nice house.

The Reds are going to be horrible the next 2-3 seasons. Why would you waste innings on him? Let the young guys pitch and see what you have. A pitching coach, not a washed up, league average pitcher, should be guiding them.

They all aren't gonna throw 200-220 innings a year right now.
