Ron Marinaccio Elects Free Agency

Ron Marinaccio elected free agency after clearing waivers with the Reds, who claimed him off waivers shortly after the trade deadline but saw him struggle with a 10-run, 5 1/3-inning appearance. The reliever has now been designated for assignment three times this season and lacks remaining options, though he crossed the three-year service threshold this summer, allowing him to reject assignment. Marinaccio carries a 6.09 career ERA across stints with San Diego, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati, with particularly poor recent performance of 25 runs allowed in 26 2/3 innings. The Reds also signed right-hander Darius Vines to a minor league contract; the 28-year-old spent this season in the Mexican League with a 3.32 ERA before reporting to Triple-A Louisville.
