Godley

Godley hasn’t appeared in the majors since the 2021 campaign and was pitching this season for the Gastonia Honey Hunters of the independent Atlantic League. The 33-year-old journeyman provides the Athletics with some extra organizational pitching depth.

Godley was released by the Reds last month after making 13 appearances (two starts) at Triple-A Louisville. The 32-year-old veteran righty has made 138 appearances (89 starts) in the majors since 2015, but just 10 appearances (eight starts) over the last two years between the Red Sox and Brewers. He’ll look to rebuild his value in the independent Atlantic League this summer.

The well-traveled 32-year-old hurler had been disastrous through 13 appearances (two starts) at Triple-A Louisville, posting a 6.64 ERA, 2.16 WHIP and 26/19 K/BB ratio over 20 1/3 innings. He’ll likely look to latch on elsewhere, though it’s possible this could be the end of the road for him.

Godley is the most prominent inclusion among the latest round of cuts from Reds’ spring training as they pare down to 50 players left in camp. The 31-year-old righty will open the regular season as organizational pitching depth at Triple-A Louisville.

Godley made just two appearances (one start) with the Brewers during the 2021 campaign. He split the remainder of last season at the Triple-A level between the Brewers, Mets and Cleveland organizations, posting a 4.76 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 85/52 K/BB ratio across 98 1/3 innings (21 appearances, 18 starts). The 31-year-old veteran journeyman holds a serviceable 4.92 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 547/237 K/BB ratio across 568 2/3 innings at the major-league level since 2015. He’ll augment the Reds’ organizational pitching depth this upcoming season.

Godley allowed seven runs (six earned) over 3 1/3 innings across two appearances for the Brewers earlier this season. He was released by Cleveland earlier this month after making six starts at Triple-A Columbus. The 31-year-old righty will serve as organizational starting pitching depth for the Mets over the remainder of the regular season.

Godley inked a minor-league deal back in late June and wound up allowing 19 runs (16 earned) with an 18/11 K/BB ratio across 24 innings (six starts) at Triple-A Columbus. The 31-year-old veteran righty made two appearances in the majors with the Brewers earlier this season.

The Indians need some pitching depth as they deal with a bevy of injuries. Godley made two appearances with the Brewers earlier this season, allowing seven runs -- six earned -- over 3 1/3 innings.

Godley refused an outright assignment to Triple-A Nashville and will test the free agent waters instead. The 31-year-old righty allowed six runs (five earned) on four hits with a 5/5 K/BB ratio over 3 1/3 frames with the Brewers this season. However, he has plenty of major-league experience and could latch on quickly with a new organization.

Godley cleared waivers on Thursday evening and will remain with the Brewers as organizational relief depth moving forward. The 31-year-old righty allowed six runs (five earned) on four hits with a 5/5 K/BB ratio over 3 1/3 frames with the Brewers this season.
