MLB Trade Rumors
The Reds have acquired left-hander
Cionel Perez in a trade with the Astros, as officially announced on the Reds’ Twitter feed. Houston will pick up minor league catcher
Luke Berryhill in their end of the swap.
The move opens up a 40-man roster spot for the Astros, so the
Michael Brantleysigning could be officially announced at any moment. For the second time in two days, the Reds picked up a reliever from a team looking to clear a 40-man spot, after Cincinnati acquired
Hector Perez from the Blue Jays so Toronto could accommodate
George Springer (whose deal is now official) on the roster.
