DIAMONDBACKS DEAL FOR ROBBY SCOTT

The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired pitcher Robby Scott from the Cincinnati Reds for cash.

What does it give the Arizona Diamondbacks
The 29-year-old Scott is a situational left-hander who saw time in MLB with the Red Sox from 2016-18. He will likely serve a role as a situational left-hander with Arizona. He can strike batters out but control remains an issue.

What does it give the Cincinnati Reds
The Reds claimed Scott off waivers from Boston earlier this month, and then decided to deal him for cash. Clearly, Scott was not in their long-range plans so they at least got something for nothing here.

Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact after this trade, as Scott will be used occasionally by Arizona. He is not a major target for saves and his holds will likely be limited, as well.
