Reds Add Swingman Depth with Darren McCaughan Minor League Deal

The Cincinnati Reds signed right-hander Darren McCaughan to a minor-league contract and will bring him to spring training as a non-roster invitee. The 29-year-old swingman has MLB experience across four teams with a 6.02 ERA in 61 1/3 innings. He spent most of 2025 in Minnesota’s Triple-A system, posting a 5.10 ERA over 97 innings with 20 homers allowed. McCaughan is known for solid control and multi-role versatility, making him organizational depth for Cincinnati and likely a Triple-A Louisville option rather than breaking camp with the Reds.

The Miami Marlins are acquiring right-hander Darren McCaughan from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for cash considerations, while designating outfielder Peyton Burdick for assignment to clear space on the 40-man roster. McCaughan, a Long Beach State product, provides pitching depth for the Marlins with a minor league option remaining, while Burdick, a third-round draft pick in 2019, has seen his offensive performance plateau in Triple-A and faces uncertainty in the majors due to his contact skills.

"Mariners Make Bold Move, Sign Canaan Smith-Njigba and Release Darren McCaughan"

The Seattle Mariners have claimed outfielder Canaan Smith-Njigba off waivers from the Pirates and designated right-hander Darren McCaughan for assignment. Smith-Njigba, part of a trade that brought Jameson Taillon to the Yankees, has shown promise in the minors but has limited MLB experience. With strong walk rates and a left-handed bat, he provides outfield depth for the Mariners. McCaughan, a long-time Mariners prospect, has struggled in limited MLB appearances and will now be subject to trade or outright waivers.
