Delino DeShields News
The Atlanta Braves have signed outfielder Delino DeShields to a minor league contract. The 29-year-old was a member of the Miami Marlins this spring. He appeared in four spring games with the Marlins and went 1-for-8 with a pair of strikeouts. The team released him just a few days before Opening Day. After spending his first five MLB seasons with the Texas Rangers, DeShields has bounced around the league over the past few years. He made 25 appearances with the Cincinnati Reds last year and slashed .255/.375/.426 with one home run, two stolen bases, six RBI and four runs.
Outfielder Delino DeShields was sent on a minor league assignment by the Cincinnati Reds. However, he refused the assignment and elected to become a free agent instead. The 29-year-old split the 2021 season between three organizations. He began the year with the Texas Rangers, then spent time with the Boston Red Sox before joining the Reds. He appeared in 25 games for the Reds and slashed .255/.375/.426 with one home run, two stolen bases, six RBI and four runs.
The Cincinnati Reds selected the contract of outfielder Delino DeShields Jr. on Wednesday. DeShields was acquired in a trade with the Boston Red Sox just a day earlier, on Tuesday, in exchange for cash considerations. The news is particularly notable as DeShields' father, Delino DeShields Sr., is the first base coach for the Reds. Delino Jr. began the year in the Texas Rangers' organization and he has spent the majority of the season at Triple-A, where he has slashed .252/.385/.366 with six home runs, 21 stolen bases and 56 runs over 84 games. He appeared in both games of the Reds' doubleheader on Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI. The Reds have a crowded outfield right now, so don't expect DeShields to get more than a few starts per week while he's with the team.
