Inks minors deal with Philadelphia
The Phillies signed Kuhnel to a minor-league contract on Dec. 21, Steve Potter of PhilliesBaseballFan.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kuhnel, who turns 30 in February, has collected a career 5.86 ERA and 76:24 K:BB over 93.2 innings covering parts of five seasons at the major-league level. The big righty will give the Phillies some experienced relief depth.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Shoulder discomfort in March lingered into summer camp, costing Kuhnel a chance to make the Reds' Opening Day roster. He ended up joining the club a couple times and totaling three appearances. It is essentially meaningless as a sample, but clearly the Reds did not like what they at the alternate site as they outrighted Kuhnel to Triple-A in October of 2020 after he cleared waivers. Kuhnel was used as a closer on the farm, collecting double-digit saves at three different levels, but it's unrealistic to think he could fill that role in the majors. Kuhnel will be focused simply on staying healthy and trying to get back onto the 40-man in 2021.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looking like callup candidate
Kuhnel, who has posted a 2.12 ERA and 1.18 WHIP in 15 appearances since joining Triple-A Louisville, could be called up by the Reds later this season.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old right-hander had a great run as the closer for Double-A Chattanooga to start the year, and he's only gotten better in terms of run prevention and BAA since his promotion to Louisville. The Reds' starting pitching has been great this season, but the bullpen has been shaky lately (14th in the NL in cumulative fWAR since the All-Star break), and David Hernandez in particular has really struggled. Kuhnel would be one option to bolster the relief corps, though he would need to be added to the 40-man roster.
