Phillies trade Marlon Byrd to Reds

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,, at 16:26

Perhaps the Phillies' New Year's resolution was to face reality and start clearing house. The team took another step in that direction Wednesday by trading Marlon Byrd to Cincinnati.


The Reds have sent their seventh-ranked prospect back to Philly, pitcher Ben Lively.

He had solid numbers between single- and double-A last season, going 13-7 with an ERA just over three.



The veteran outfielder Byrd is coming off a career year in which he hit 25 home runs.



But the Phillies are choosing to continue their youth movement.
