The veteran signed with the organization in April and had been toiling at Triple-A Las Vegas, where he hit just .237 with 25 RBI and 43 strikeouts in 55 games. The 30-year-old is less than three years removed from logging nearly 500 at-bats with the Rays in 2014, but at this point his career is trending in the wrong direction.

Jennings was released by the Reds at the end of March after failing to crack the major-league roster out of camp, but he didn't have to wait very long for another offer to arise. The 30-year-old will report to Triple-A Las Vegas, but his extensive major-league experience could help him punch a ticket to the big leagues if anyone in New York's outfield gets hurt.

Jennings showed some power in spring for the Reds, but a .195 batting average ultimately sealed his fate. He has been on a steady decline for the past four years, with his OPS dropping from .748 in 2013 to .631 in 2016. That wasn't enough to unseat any of Cincinnati's outfielders, as they have instead chosen to go with youth in former Cubs prospect Arismendy Alcantara. Jennings has played just 83 games over the past two seasons, and he's going to have a hard time adding to that total after this stinker of a spring.

Jennings was battling for a reserve outfield spot, and it looked like the 30-year-old had a good shot at making the big league roster with the release of Ryan Raburn. He was just 8-for-41 (.195) throughout spring, however, prompting the Reds to ship him off to the minors to start the season.

Jennings does have an opt-out option before Opening Day, which he'll likely utilize in an attempt to latch on elsewhere.
