Marlins Land Rece Hinds in Trade for Zach McCambley, Eye Power Upside

The Miami Marlins acquired outfielder Rece Hinds from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for right-hander Zach McCambley, optioning Hinds to Triple-A Jacksonville. The Reds received McCambley in return. The Marlins also recalled Graham Pauley and placed Leo Jiménez on the seven-day concussion IL while transferring Robby Snelling to the 60-day IL with a UCL sprain. Hinds has notable power in the minors and spring, but MLB results have been limited and he carries a high strikeout rate; McCambley is a bullpen-ready arm with mid-90s velocity who could help Cincinnati later. The deal gives both teams needed depth and flexibility, with Hinds remaining in Miami’s system and McCambley adding pitching depth for Cincinnati.

Cardinals Trade Nolan Arenado to Diamondbacks to Kickstart Rebuild
