Reds sign former SF Giants backstop to one-year deal
Wynns served as the SF Giants backup catcher in 2022 and made a brief one-game cameo in 2023
To bolster their depth behind the plate, the Cincinnati Reds have signed former SF Giants catcher Austin Wynns to a one-year, $950,000 deal, the club announced on Thursday,
