Tony Kemp: Cut by Reds
The Reds released Kemp on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Kemp signed a minor-league deal with the Reds in July, but he'll now have to search for another opportunity after slashing .237/.338/.364 with 17 RBI across 139 plate appearances with Triple-A Louisville. The 32-year-old has been able to put up solid numbers overall in Triple-A this season (.773 OPS), so he should have little trouble latching on with another team as organizational depth.

Reds' Tony Kemp: Joins Reds on MiLB deal
Kemp signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Kemp signed an NRI deal with Cincinnati this spring but opted out of the contract in hopes of landing a spot on a big-league roster. He's since spent time in the Orioles' and Twins' organizations and is hitless in 10 major-league at-bats this season. Kemp will report to Triple-A Louisville, but the Reds are dealing with a plethora of injuries and could require the 32-year-old utility man's versatility in near future.

Tony Kemp: Free agent after opting out
The Twins released Kemp on Monday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Kemp had a July 1 opt-out clause in his minor-league contract and decided to exercise it. The utility player slashed .279/.358/.436 with six homers in 46 games with Triple-A St. Paul. He'll now look to latch on in another organization.

Twins' Tony Kemp: Receives MiLB deal from Minnesota
Kemp signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Kemp lost his job with the Orioles when they promoted Jackson Holliday, but he didn't have to wait long to find another gig. With the Twins dealing with a couple injuries in their infield between Royce Lewis (quad) and Carlos Correa (intercostal), Kemp will provide some added depth.

Tony Kemp: Becomes free agent
Kemp elected free agency Saturday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
After being pushed off the 40-man roster Wednesday in favor of top prospect Jackson Holliday, Kemp exercised his right to refuse an outright assignment and will now explore his options in free agency. The 32-year-old slashed .209/.303/.304 last season with the Athletics and could find work as a bench player for a team in need of depth at second base or in the outfield.

Orioles' Tony Kemp: Cut from 40-man roster
The Orioles designated Kemp for assignment Wednesday.
Kemp's removal from the 40-man roster opens a spot for top prospect Jackson Holliday, who was called up from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move and is expected to take on a near-everyday role in the middle infield. Though he was able to crack the Orioles' Opening Day roster when he was signed shortly after being cut by the Reds in spring training, Kemp appeared in only five of Baltimore's first 10 games while going hitless in his nine at-bats.

Kemp signed a one-year contract with the Orioles on Tuesday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Kemp opted out of his minor-league deal with the Reds last week but has quickly caught on with a contender on a big-league contract. He will be an option to see some action at second base and left field, but he figures to ultimately settle into a reserve role.

Tony Kemp: Released by Cincinnati
Kemp was released by the Reds on Tuesday.
Kemp had been re-assigned to minor-league camp and it appears he has exercised the opt-out clause in his contract. The 32-year-old will now be on the lookout for another gig and it's possible he could latch on with a major-league deal with a club looking for bench help.

Reds' Tony Kemp: Sent to minor-league camp
The Reds reassigned Kemp to minor-league camp Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
With a lifetime .238/.325/.352 slash line (94 wRC+) over 2,237 career big-league plate appearances, Kemp was one of the more accomplished non-roster invitees who joined the Reds for camp, but he never had much of a chance at winning a spot on Cincinnati's Opening Day roster in light of the team's ample infield and outfield depth. If Kemp isn't willing to report to Triple-A Louisville to begin the season, the Reds could grant him his release and allow him to join an organization that can present him with a clearer path to a big-league roster spot.

Reds' Tony Kemp: Signs NRI deal with Cincinnati
Kemp signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
The 32-year-old veteran was an above-average hitter in 2021 but slashed just .224/.306/.321 with the Athletics over the last two seasons. Kemp offers the ability to play second base and the outfield but seems an odd fit for a Cincinnati roster already teeming with position player options.
