Reds Acquire Tanner Roark Wednesday
6 years agoThe Cincinnati Reds acquired starting pitcher Tanner Roark from the Washington Nationals on Wednesday in exchange for pitcher Tanner Rainey. Roark was very up and down in his final season with Washington in 2018, going 9-15 with a 4.34 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 7.3 K/9 across 31 outings (30 starts) over 180 1/3 innings. Hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark won't help him bounce back any next season, making him a shaky matchup-based back-end fantasy starting pitcher in deep mixed leagues. Rainey appeared in eight games for Cincy last year (all in relief) in his first taste of the bigs and allowed 19 earned runs in just seven innings pitched.
