Marlon Byrd to Reds

[Matt Breen]

Byrd (and $4 million) go to Cincy, minor league pitcher Ben Lively heads to Philadelphia.

Seems like an under whelming return for Byrd. Lively, a 4th round pick in 2013, was ranked 8th on Cincy's top 20 prospects list by MLB.com. Perhaps more parts will be announced.

A 37 year old with potentially 1 year left. Sounds about right.
