Marlins Acquire Chris Reed From Dodgers

By Jeff Todd | July 15, 2015 at 1:02pm CDT

The Marlins have acquired lefty Chris Reed from the Dodgers in exchange for fellow southpaw Grant Dayton, Miami announced. Reed had recently been designated for assignment by Los Angeles.

In Reed, the Marlins have added a former first-round pick who entered the season rated the 10th overall prospect in the L.A. system by Baseball America. The former Stanford closer had worked as a starter for most of his professional career, but was shifted back to the pen this year. The results were not terribly promising, as Reed has walked more batters than he’s retired by strikeout and is carrying a 5.97 ERA.

Meanwhile, Dayton is a 27-year-old who has pitched almost exclusively from the pen. He owns a 2.83 ERA on the year in his second season at Triple-A, with 9.0 K/9 against just 1.3 BB/9. Unlike Reed, Dayton will not require a 40-man spot at present, allowing the Dodgers to stash him in the upper minors along with a dizzying array of other recently-acquired pen arms.

      exactly, I am tired of all these minor league depth trades. When will trades involving top prospects and/or MLB players actually happen?

        Right around the 31st of July, per usual.

    I find most stat-oriented FO team’s to be next to impossible to watch. Low risk, who cares about defense, only run the bases station to station, work counts and hit a lot of foul balls, hope that the pitchers or hitters dominate that day, etc.

    The exception to me has always been Thomas Friedman teams. Maybe it’s because he played the sport. But his teams are fun to watch. The players on the field appear to be thinking, and make good split-second decisions, instead of looking like programmed robots. I loved this line…..

    “Dayton will not require a 40-man spot at present, allowing the Dodgers to stash him in the upper minors along with a dizzying array of other recently-acquired pen arms.”…..

    Everyone in MLB is looking for bullpen help with the possible exception of the Royals. For the next few years people will look up and wonder where the Dodgers got all those good relief pitchers that no one heard of from. Same way it used to happen to the Rays.

        Thanks – Andrew. Always confuse his first name with the writer.

      The guys they’ve been claiming/trading for aren’t particularly good though

        My point. He did it with the Rays, and many came out of nowhere to be instrumental in that teams success.

          I’d like to think they got someone half decent for a former first round pick, but it’s difficult to be convinced when it’s a player with such a long minor league resume.

    I’m thinking that the Dodger’s got the better part of this transaction.
