GOODYEAR, Ariz. – The Cincinnati Reds completed their third trade this week Wednesday, shipping reliever Amir Garrett to the Kansas City Royals for starting pitcher Mike Minor and cash considerations.
Garrett was a key part of the Reds' bullpen for the past five seasons, though he slumped in 2021 with a 6.04 ERA across 63 appearances. The 29-year-old lefty was one of the premier National League setup men in 2020 and '21. He compiled a 10-7 record and a 5.10 ERA in 235 career appearances.
The Reds have now traded Sonny Gray, Jesse Winker, Eugenio Suárez and Garrett since the start of camp Sunday.
