Zach Links of MLBTrade Rumors broke the news first via Twitter that the Reds had agreed to trade pitcher John Lamb to the Tampa Bay Rays.
However, there has been no official announcement by the Tampa Bay Rays or Cincinnati Reds. John Heyman of FanRag Sports followed that up as he tweeted that the Rays are sending cash back in return.
The Reds designated Lamb, who has undergone surgeries to repair herniated disks, was designated for assignment on October 27 after undergoing his second back surgery in two years.
