Garrett Hampson News: Inks minors deal with Cincinnati

The Reds signed Hampson to a minor-league contract Dec. 29 that includes an invitation to major-league spring training.

The Reds were one of three major-league teams that Hampson spent time with in 2025, though he managed a meager .419 OPS over 62 games between the three stops. The 31-year-old will get the chance to compete for a utility gig on the Opening Day roster during spring training but is more likely to begin the season at Triple-A Louisville.
