As has been reported on several news sites, the Reds traded Kyle Lohse today to the Philadephia Phillies for minor league pitcher Matt Maloney.

Apparently, Maloney was a decent prospect in the Philly organization, not a top-shelf guy but still a solid player. I agree completely with this trade, this was probably the easiest decision Krivsky was going to have, what with Lohse set to enter free agency this winter where the team would lose him for nothing.

Loshe was a good pick up when Krivsky was making all of the deals last year but he just became too inconsistent. I agree that this was the best decision for the Reds.
