Reds Acquire Marlins OF Dane Myers for Prospect Ethan O'Donnell, Designate RHP Lyon Richardson for Assignment

The move adds outfield depth after a morning agreement with JJ Bleday.

Overview

  • Cincinnati sent Double-A outfielder Ethan O'Donnell, ranked No. 18 in the organization, to Miami in exchange for Myers.
  • Right-hander Lyon Richardson was designated for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot for the incoming outfielder.
  • Myers, 29, appeared in 106 MLB games last season and hit .235 with a .617 OPS, six home runs and 31 RBIs.
  • The right-handed hitter is a converted pitcher who can handle all three outfield positions and projects as versatile depth.
  • Earlier Saturday, the Reds reached a one-year deal with JJ Bleday, signaling a concerted push to fortify the outfield group.
