Reds' Austin Brice: Dealt to the Reds

Brice is headed for Cincinnati as part of the deal that sent Dan Straily to Miami, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.

Analysis:

Brice saw the majors for the first time in his career with Miami in 2016, and gave up 12 runs (11 earned) over 15 appearances. He'll have a chance to earn a role in the Cincinnati bullpen this spring, but even if that doesn't work out, look for the right-hander to open the season in Triple-A. Brice has a fastball that can flirt with the upper-90s, but he'll need to get left-handers out consistently to be a mainstay at the major league level. Nine of his 11 earned runs in last year's stint came off the bats of lefties.
