The Cincinnati Reds failed to add a needed starter at the '23 deadline and missed the playoffs by 2 games. Why they doubled down on that strength now.

The Cincinnati Reds added to their pitching depth on Wednesday night with a savvy trade for a starting pitcher. There is an intriguing possibility this could open up with Chase Burns. The Reds got right-handed pitcher Zack Littell from the Tampa Bay Rays late Wednesday night.
