ANALYSIS
Russell spent last season at Triple-A New Orleans, posting five saves with a 3-3 record, 2.37 ERA, 1.401 WHIP, and 59:33 K:BB in 60.2 innings. Considering his last major league appearance occurred in 2011 with the Rays, the 31-year-old will supply organizational depth and not much more for the Reds.
