Reds acquired LHP Sean Marshall from the Cubs in exchange for LHP Travis Wood, OF Dave Sappelt and INF Ronald Torreyes. The Reds might have given up a little too much in the deal, but Marshall should fit in nicely as a setup man in Cincy. He has posted a 2.45 ERA as a reliever since the start of the 2010 season and is tough on right-handed batters, as well as lefties. The Reds are still in the market for a closer, as they'd like to use Marshall in the eighth inning.
