According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, the Reds have traded outfielder Willy Taveras and infielder Adam Rosales to the Athletics for second baseman Aaron Miles and a player to be named later.
Billy Beane adds another fine defensive outfielder to his collection, but we're not sure how they'll all fit. The Reds really soured on Taveras after he batted just .240/.275/.285 in 404 at-bats last season. Miles was acquired from the Cubs along with Jake Fox in December. He'll continue to be worthless on Cincinnati's bench, if he makes the club at all.
