The Cincinnati Reds have solidified their pitching roster by trading for Zack Littell from the Tampa Bay Rays. Following a previous trade for third-baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes, the Reds secured Littell in a 2-for-1 deal that involved sending two minor-league pitchers, Brian Van Belle and Adam Serwinowski, to Tampa Bay. Littell is expected to enhance the Reds' starting rotation, which currently includes veteran Nick Martinez and rookie Chase Burns, amid concerns over Burns' workload. With an 8-8 record and a 3.58 ERA this season, Littell brings valuable experience to the team, especially after his recent performance against the Yankees.
