At the end of every Major League Baseball season, a huge wave of unheralded talent hits free agency.
Former Seattle Mariners right-handed pitcher Taylor Floyd fits the definition to a T. Floyd has never appeared in a major league game, and in fact, he’s never even made it to Triple-A. But a couple of weeks before his 28th birthday, he got another shot with a new organization, thanks to his high strikeout totals from this past season.
According to the official transactions log on his MLB.com roster page, Floyd signed a minor-league deal with the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. He’ll join his fourth major league organization in hopes of finally progressing to the majors in year eight as a pro.
