Overview

  • Cincinnati sent Double-A outfielder Ethan O'Donnell to Miami in the one-for-one deal, which the Reds announced on Saturday.
  • To clear a 40-man roster spot, the Reds designated right-hander Lyon Richardson for assignment.
  • Myers, a converted pitcher, logged 18 steals and six home runs in 2025 with plus defense across the outfield.
  • The right-handed hitter profiles in a platoon role after producing .297/.360/.456 in 203 plate appearances against lefties and a .549 OPS versus righties.
  • Myers is pre-arbitration with team control at a near-league-minimum salary, and president of baseball operations Nick Krall said he helps in center and against lefties while indicating more additions could follow; earlier in the day, Cincinnati also added J.J. Bleday.
