Unless you’re the Geico Caveman (and if you are, shoot me an email because you’re awesome), you’ve already seen the news that the Cincinnati Reds traded Dan Straily to the Miami Marlins for three prospects. I wrote about it over at RedsMinorLeagues.com. Steve Mancuso covered it quite well here at Redleg Nation.
The two pitchers that came over to the Reds in the trade were right handers Luis Castillo and Austin Brice. In the 2016 season with the Marlins, they both took on roles that were new to them as professionals. For both players it paid off in a big way.
