November 22, 2024
Gibaut was non-tendered by the Reds on Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Gibaut battled both forearm and calf injuries that sidelined him for the majority of the 2024 season. He did return to make two appearances in the big leagues. Gibaut may have to settle for a non-roster invitation to spring training, but he should have the chance to contribute to a major-league roster at some point in 2025.

Stat Review
How does Ian Gibaut compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

NL FAAB Factor: Waiver Pickups of the Week
September 10, 2023
While Jan Levine has featured a few established players, there's a certain infielder in Arizona who should be gaining plenty of interest.
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gibaut earned trust in high-leverage situations early last season and went on to appear in 74 games, which was tied for fifth in the league among relief pitchers. His 75.2 innings were more than his previous four seasons combined and he posted eight wins, three saves and 23 holds. The 30-year-old righty had decent ratios, but didn't strike many batters out and had a below average 8.8% walk rate. Gibaut could use another strikeout pitch to complement his mid-90's 4-seamer and he's been successful with his sweeper in the past, but it's unknown whether a pitch mix adjustment is in store. He's likely to open 2024 in a setup role for Cincinnati, a retooled bullpen could push Gibaut back to the sixth or seventh inning.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Retained by Cincinnati
PCincinnati Reds  
November 16, 2022
Gibault is part of the Reds' future bullpen plans, reports Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
ANALYSIS
Cincinnati selected Gibault off waivers in June and the 28-year-old produced a 4.67 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 2.67 K/BB in 34.2 innings for the team. He's two years away from arbitration and will make close to the league minimum next year. As he's out of options, the Reds had to choose to keep Gibault on the 40-man roster or protect another minor-leaguer from the Rule 5 Draft. It seems likely that he'll be given every opportunity to secure a spot in the team's bullpen in 2023.
