Tanner Roark was acquired on the final day of the Winter Meetings from the Washington Nationals in exchange for Tanner Rainey. At the time it looked like desperate attempt during the close of the Winter Meetings to show fans that the Cincinnati Reds were trying to upgrade the starting rotation. So far, Roark has been lights out for the Reds.
The Cincinnati Reds continued Cactus League play last night against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Reds gave up 8 runs in the 8th inning, but Tanner Roark had long since been relieved of his duty as the team’s starter.
