Justin Shafer was designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays, but the Cincinnati Reds worked out a deal to bring the 27-year-old hurler to the Queen City. Shafer went 2-1 last season with a 3.86 ERA and could be in the mix for a spot in the Reds bullpen next season. Cincinnati sent cash to Toronto in exchange for the former eighth-round pick.
I know every single Reds fan is sitting on the edge of their seat, waiting to hear a familiar name scroll across their Twitter feed, but the offseason is still very young and teams are gearing up for the Winter Meetings.
