Cubs To Send Sean Marshall To Reds For Travis Wood: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

The Cubs and Reds have agreed in principle to a trade that will send left-handed reliever Sean Marshall to Cincinnati for starter Travis Wood and two minor leaguers, according to Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com. Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports first reported that the sides were discussing a deal last night. The move is pending physicals, Levine reports.

The minor league players that the Cubs get will dictate who got the better end of the trade.

The Reds have depth in the minors one week and it is gone the next. They needed Travis Wood more than ever this year with all the question marks in their rotation and to get a player who you will only have for one year, opposed to having Wood for years to come, just doesn't make sense. I think Walt Jocketty is setting himself up to be fired along with Dusty Baker if the Reds don't do anything this year.

They already had Aroldis in that role what do they need Marshall for?
