RHP Jared Hughes (Free Agent)

- Pittsburgh Pirates (2011-16)
- Milwaukee Brewers (2017)
- Cincinnati Reds (2018-19)
- Philadelphia Phillies (2019)
Update, 2/17: The Houston Astros signed RHP Jared Hughes to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training.
When the Phillies selected Jared Hughes off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds in mid-August, the right-hander had parts of nine seasons and nearly 500 games of experience under his belt.
And, on paper, Hughes arguably had better success with the Phillies in 2019 rather than the Reds, considering his 3.91 ERA and 1.043 WHIP in red pinstripes as opposed to 4.10 ERA and 1.241 WHIP.

The Connecticut native’s best season came in 2018, in which he recorded a 1.94 ERA, 1.017 WHIP, and 59-23 strikeout-to-walk ratio spanning 72 appearances and 78 2/3 innings.
In November, the Phillies declined Hughes’ $3 million option for 2020, instead opting to pay him a $250,000 buyout.

Earlier in 2019, Hughes served a three-game suspension as a member of the Reds for intentionally throwing at the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Starling Marte in late July, resulting in a benches-clearing brawl between the teams.
