GARRETT FOR MINOR
The Kansas City Royals acquired pitcher Amir Garrett from the Cincinnati Reds for pitcher Mike Minor and cash.
What does it give the Kansas City Royals
In Garrett, the Royals get a talented (though somewhat inconsistent) left-handed reliever. His arm is worth gambling on, so this is a good move for KC.
What does it give the Cincinnati Reds
Minor should get an opportunity to pitch out of Cincinnati's rotation this season, though the Reds seem to be completely rebuilding at this time.
Fantasy impact
Garrett could be worth picking up in deep fantasy leagues, especially those who utilize the Holds category. Minor's fantasy stock has now taken a nosedive because he will now be forced to pitch half the time at Great American Ball Park. Ouch!
