Posted: Thu Feb 27, 2025 11:21 am
Reiss Knehr's recent signing by the San Diego Padres has sparked some interesting conversations about the potential for players to revitalize their careers in the minor leagues. As a 20th-round pick from the 2018 MLB Draft, Knehr has had a rocky path, with a less-than-stellar performance in the majors and a mixed bag of stats in the minors.
What do you think about the Padres' decision to give him another shot? Is this a smart move for a team looking to bolster its pitching depth, or is it just a low-risk gamble that won't pay off?
Knehr's 2023 stats are concerning, to say the least, with an ERA of 15.88 and a WHIP of 2.647. However, we’ve seen players turn their careers around after a stint in the minors. Can Knehr be one of those success stories?
Let’s also talk about the broader implications of minor league contracts. How often do you think teams should take chances on players with shaky pasts? Are there any players you’ve seen make a significant comeback after a similar situation?
