Philadelphia OF Tyler Goeddel will be hopping on a flight to Kentucky in the coming hours, but it won’t be into CVG to join the Phillies in their series against the Cincinnati Reds. Well, former Philadelphia OF Tyler Goeddel, that is, since the Reds themselves claimed the former 1st round draft pick this morning and immediately optioned him to AAA Louisville.

That the Reds chose to claim Goeddel shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, really.
