Just hours after wrapping up a deal with the New York Yankees that landed them Luis Cessa and, to whatever extent, Justin Wilson as bullpen reinforcements, the Cincinnati Reds were back on the transaction ledger again Wednesday morning.
This time, it was for Colorado Rockies reliever Mychal Givens, a 31 year old righty who has pitched to a tidy 2.73 ERA in 29.2 IP so far this year. MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand had the early news, though MLB’s Thomas Harding later added the news that Case Williams - formerly of the Rockies - would be heading back as the return.
