In addition to the signings already reported on Tuesday, the Cincinnati Reds have also signed pitchers Jose Mijares and Michael Bowden to minor league contracts, according to a report from Baseball America’s Matt Eddy.

Mijares, a 30-year old from Venezuela, has pitched in six seasons for the Twins, Royals, and Giants. His career numbers have been impressive, so it’s surprising that no teams picked him up last year after opting out of his contract with the Red Sox before the end of Spring Training. In 259.0 innings, Mijares is 6-11 with a 3.23 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 8.0 K/9, and 3.6 BB/9 in his career. He has playoff experience as well, pitching in 11 total postseason games between the Twins in 2009 and 2010, and the World Series champion Giants in 2012. Mijares’ chances of making the Reds’ roster are increased because he’s a lefty. If Sean Marshall isn’t healthy and/or pitches ineffectively, Mijares could earn a spot as the third lefthander in the bullpen, along with Aroldis Chapman and Manny Parra.

If Bowden’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he pitched for the division rival Cubs from 2012 to 2013. Bowden, a 28-year old former first-round draft pick of the Red Sox, played in Japan last season, going 2-1 in 40.0 innings with a 4.50 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 30 strikeouts, and 24 walks (5.4 BB/9–not good). For his career, the righthander has a 3-5 record with a 4.51 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 6.7 K/9, and 3.6 BB/9. His career numbers don’t jump out like those of Mijares, but he showed potential in 2012, posting a 2.95 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 32 strikeouts in 39.2 innings. Bowden has an outside chance of making the Reds’ roster next season, but his signing gives the organization pitching depth more than anything, something that can’t hurt.

While the report didn’t say whether Mijares and Bowden were given invitations to Spring Training, it seems likely that they’ll both be given a shot to earn their way onto the Reds roster in 2015 along with Nathan Adcock, who was among the signings reported on Tuesday. All three pitchers have big league experience and could potentially give the Reds a lift in the bullpen next season.

Walt Jocketty hasn’t signed any big name relievers so far, but it’s clear that he is trying to improve the much-maligned bullpen, which was among the worst in baseball and lost games for the Reds on a regular basis (11-31, 4.11 ERA, 1.39 WHIP–just flat-out ugly numbers). Fans can only hope that Jocketty has found a diamond in the rough with at least one of these signings, much like he did when he claimed Alfredo Simon off of waivers in 2012.
