The Cincinnati Reds made a handful of trades ahead of last week's deadline, but their most impactful transaction may have actually occurred during the offseason. Back in November, the Reds acquired starting pitcher Brady Singer from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for infielder Jonathan India.
But few, if anyone, remembers that outfielder Joey Wiemer was part of that deal as well. The former Milwaukee Brewers slugger, who actually went to college at the Universtiy of Cincinnati, is on the move once again.
Wiemer was designated for assignment following the Royals' trade deadline acquisition of pitchers Bailey Falter, Stephen Kolek, and Ryan Bergert and was just claimed off waivers by the surging Miami Marlins.
