Joe Frisaro, Marlins MLB writer tweets the Marlins are trading for a right-handed pitcher with one year of team control. No direct connection to the Reds, but Cincinnati has three of those pitchers.
at this point, all I can report about #Marlins mystery starter to be acquired today is he's a right-hander 1 yr from free agency.

About 30 minutes ago, Jon Morosi of Fox Sports tweeted that the Reds may be trading a starting pitcher to the Detroit Tigers.
One source says #Tigers will obtain a starting pitcher from #Reds.

Shortly after that, Reds beat writer C. Trent Rosecrans confirmed the rumor and added that it is unrelated to the Tigers’ recent trade with the Red Sox for Yeonis Cspedes.
the #Reds deal with #Tigers, I'm told, is completely separate from anything to do with Detroit's deal for Cespedes
