The Cincinnati Reds continue to fortify their pitching staff with a pair of trades on Monday just before the trading deadline of 1 p.m.
The Reds acquired 39-year-old left-handed reliever Rheal Cormier (2-2, 1.59 ERA) from the Philadelphia Phillies and disappointing right-hander Kyle Lohse (2-5, 7.07) from the Minnesota Twins. Both came relatively cheap, costing Cincinnati pitchers Justin Germano and minor leaguer Zach Ward.
Also, the Detroit Tigers received veteran first baseman Sean Casey from the Pittsburgh Pirates for minor league pitcher Brian Rogers. Casey, a career .304 hitter, is hitting .296 after being hurt for a good portion of the year with a back injury.
