Sean Marshall for Travis Wood and Couple Minor Leagures
Reds are getting rid of a lot of young talent
^You can tell they have the win-now mentality.
Not really sure about this...

Marshall is only locked up for the 2012 season, Travis Wood is locked up for 5 years.

Wood is still only 24 years old with more potential....plus you gotta remember he was 2 outs away from throwing a perfect game.

I'm torn about this...
Sean Marshall? I'd rather keep Wood
John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer hears from a source that no trade is imminent yet.

Cubs have talked to both Jeff Francis and Paul Maholm
this deal looks like it's gonna get done

I love it.... Wood would help!!
I will say tho, its become pretty clear that with all these moves being made by Cincinnati.

They want to win...and win right now.
I really like Travis Wood. I'm not sure on this trade either.
Not a good trade at all, take away a left handed starter for a left handed relief pitcher that only may pitch to a left handed batter....
According to some fangraphs, Sean Marshall is the third most efficient reliever in baseball.

So it's not like it's totally bad.

He immediately will solify our bullpen.
Sounds like the Reds will give him a shot at closing
