As the Cincinnati Reds work on their offseason 40-man roster, which includes reinstating nearly a dozen players from the 60-day injured list, there will be a lot of player movement over the next couple of months.
The Reds took the first step Friday and they lost three catchers trying to clear waivers. Aramis Garcia and Mark Kolozsvary were claimed by the Baltimore Orioles, and Michael Papierski was claimed by the Detroit Tigers.
Three other players cleared waivers, right-handed pitchers Raynel Espinal and Ryan Hendrix, along with catcher Chuckie Robinson, and were taken off the 40-man roster.
