RANGERS GET RELIEVER FROM REDS
The Texas Rangers acquired pitcher Daniel Duarte from the Cincinnati Reds for cash.
What does it give the Texas Rangers
Duarte pitched in 31 games for the Reds last season and posted decent numbers (3.69 ERA, 23 K). While the Texas bullpen was not a big strength last season, Duarte will have to fight for a job in spring training.
What does it give the Cincinnati Reds
The Reds recently designated Duarte for assignment to open up a spot on the team's 40-man roster for potential free-agent additions. Therefore, cash was always going to be the expected return in this transaction.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact with this trade, as Duarte is merely bullpen depth for the Rangers.
