The battles within the Cincinnati Reds bullpen
The acquisition of former All Star reliever Taylor Rogers from the San Francisco Giants served as the bookend of a busy week by the Cincinnati Reds, a series of transactions that may well have ended the major moves of the offseason for the club.
Rogers came with $6 million in exchange for minor league righty Braxton Roxby. The Reds also signed the rehabbing Wade Miley to a deal that will likely see him return to their rotation at some point mid-year. Brought in on minor league deals were former bullpen workhorse Ian Gibaut as well as relief options Albert Abreu and Joe La Sorsa, each of whom boasts a decent bit of big league experience.
