Reds' Wade Miley Expected To Trigger Opt-Out; Joe La Sorsa To Exercise Upward Mobility Clause
Briefly

Southpaw Joe La Sorsa, currently in the Reds organization on a minor league deal, intends to activate his upward mobility clause on June 1. Alongside this, the Reds face a potential decision regarding another left-handed pitcher, Miley, who could opt-out of his contract. La Sorsa, 27, has had mixed stats in the majors and Triple-A, showcasing a notable increase in fastball velocity. His performance suggests potential, but he will need to make significant improvements to succeed at the major league level.
La Sorsa, 27, is an interesting relief arm who has two seasons of experience in the majors with the Rays and Nationals.
With that being said, the upside of a lefty pitcher with a mid-90's fastball is certainly tantalizing, and given that La Sorsa has options remaining, it would not be a shock to see a team take a shot on him.
