The predictions might not be what some Cincinnati Reds fans hoping the team will land a Patrick Corbin or Dallas Keuchel want to read as Major League Baseball GM meetings get under way in Carlsbad, Calif.

MLBTR on Harvey and Holland to the Reds:

29. Matt Harvey – Reds. Two years, $22MM. Though it was interrupted by 2013 Tommy John surgery, Harvey’s early Mets career consisted of 65 starts of 2.53 ERA ball, plus a high point of a dominant start in Game 5 of the 2015 World Series. In 2016, the wheels started to fall off. He hit the DL in July that year with thoracic outlet syndrome, resulting in season-ending surgery. Harvey recovered in time for the 2017 campaign, though he was suspended by the Mets in May after failing to show up for a game. Harvey then hit the DL in June 2017 due to a stress injury to the scapula bone in his right shoulder. The Mets tendered Harvey a contract for 2018 despite the two lost seasons, but he was bumped to the bullpen in April for poor performance. Soon after, he was designated for assignment and traded to the Reds for Devin Mesoraco. Harvey’s performance with the Reds — a 4.50 ERA, 7.8 K/9, 2.0 BB/9, 1.48 HR/9, and 42.6 percent ground-ball rate in 24 starts — wasn’t great. But he avoided the DL and brought his average fastball velocity up into the 95 mile per hour range. At 30 years old in March, Harvey remains a starting pitcher a team can dream on. The Reds declined to trade him this summer, suggesting they’d like to retain him, but some other clubs will also likely view him as a functional back-of-the-rotation arm as well as an upside play. 39. Derek Holland – Reds. Two years, $15MM. Holland, a 32-year-old southpaw starter, had a solid run in the Rangers’ rotation from 2011-13 before injuries torpedoed his next few seasons. Coming off a terrible year with the White Sox in 2017, Holland joined the Giants on a minor league deal in February. Due to injuries to the Giants’ veteran starters, Holland joined the rotation and wound up posting a 3.67 ERA and 8.5 K/9 in 30 starts. His 3.87 FIP and 4.07 xFIP lend some credence to the notion that he’s returned to his status as a viable starter, even if his ceiling seems limited.

"Matt's a free agent, so he's on the market now," Reds vice president and general manager Nick Krall said of Harvey on Monday morning on MLB Network's Hot Stove. "He was great to have this year. He was a really good guy to have in the clubhouse. He talked to the younger pitchers, we had mostly a younger staff. He did a great job for us this year."

Reds will increase payroll, target pitching
