Reds claim RHP Luke Farrell from Dodgers, designate Scott Van Slyke for assignment
The Cincinnati Reds made another roster move on Wednesday, again involving the wheelin’ dealin’ Los Angeles Dodgers. Just a week or so after sending Tony Cingrani to the NL West leaders in exchange for minor league catcher Hendrik Clementina and OF Scott Van Slyke, the Reds acquired RHP Luke Farrell from LA by claiming him off waivers.
