The Cincinnati Reds continued their shuffling of deck chairs on Friday, apparently agreeing to acquire infielder Kevin Newman from division rival Pittsburgh just hours after agreeing to deal Kyle Farmer to the Minnesota Twins.
The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, per usual, was on the news.
Reds have agreed to acquire infielder Kevin Newman from the Pirates, pending a review of medical records, sources tell me and @RobBiertempfel.

Newman, 29, is akin to Farmer in that he, too, is in his second year of arbitration eligibility this winter, but as MLB Trade Rumors’ projection notes, he’s due just ~$2.
