Marlins' Dan Straily: Dealt to Miami, pending physical
Straily will be traded to the Marlins, pending physicals, in exchange for prospects Luis Castillo, Austin Brice and Isaiah White, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.
Analysis:
Straily was claimed off waivers by the Reds prior to Opening Day of 2016, and he rewarded the team with a 3.76 ERA over 191.1 innings. The rebuilding Cincinnati team will flip him to Miami in a buy-low, sell-high move, gaining two of the Marlins' top-10 prospects in the process. Miami will have four years of team control over the 28-year-old, who should be a staple in its rotation going forward. Straily is moving to a more favorable home ballpark, but significant regression is still expected, as a low BABIP (.239) and high strand rate (81.2 percent) allowed him to post solid numbers despite walking 73 and allowing 31 homers last season.
