This time around they\u2019ve added right-handed pitcher Hagen Danner and first baseman\/outfielder Michael Toglia, signing both of them to minor league deals.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Toglia has spent parts of the last four seasons in MLB with the Colorado Rockies. He has really struggled to hit in three of those seasons, posting an OPS of .653, .507, and .611 in 2022, 2023, and 2025. But in 2024 he was solid, hitting .218\/.311\/.456 with 25 home runs in 116 games for the Rockies. And while I\u2019m sure some of you were thinking it \u2013 17 of his 25 home runs that year actually came on the road in what feels like an impossibility, but I double checked the numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Toglia, a switch hitter, hasn\u2019t performed better from one side of the plate than the other in his big league career. He\u2019s hit .197\/.282\/.382 as a left-handed hitter and he\u2019s hit .208\/.267\/.403 in his career as a right-handed hitter. He\u2019s spent parts of the last four seasons in Triple-A and he\u2019s hit very well there, including last season where he hit .331\/.401\/.624 in 42 games with Albuquerque. Most of his time in the field has been spent at first base, but he does have some experience in the corner outfield. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=toglia000mic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">You can see the career stats for Michael Toglia here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hagen Danner has also signed with the club. The 27-year-old has one game in the big leagues, pitching for the Toronto Blue Jays on August 11th of 2023. He recorded an out against the only hitter he faced that day.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025 the right-handed reliever spent the full season in Triple-A with the Seattle Mariners organization. And from an ERA standpoint it was far and away the worst season of his career. In 56.1 innings he posted an ERA of 5.59 while giving up 64 hits, nine home runs, walking a career high 21 batters, and striking out 54. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=danner000hag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">You can see the career stats for Hagen Danner here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-tags\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redlegnation.com\/tag\/hagen-danner\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hagen Danner<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redlegnation.com\/tag\/michael-toglia\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Michael Toglia<\/a><\/p>\n<p>About The Author<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redlegnation.com\/author\/dougdirt\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768099212_958_1843729dc943f8fba78202715ba292f963fb80b10a0f14d5dd55026fb000dfd7.jpeg\"  class=\"avatar avatar-120 photo\" height=\"120\" width=\"120\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cincinnati Reds are getting to work on filling out the Triple-A roster and trying to give themselves&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2400],"tags":[5,535,50,4259,59028,1491,4,536],"class_list":["post-514389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-cincinnati-reds","tag-baseball","tag-cincinnati","tag-cincinnati-reds","tag-cincinnatireds","tag-hagen-danner","tag-michael-toglia","tag-mlb","tag-reds"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/115874157831698288","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=514389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514389\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=514389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=514389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=514389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
