Reds trade Caleb Ferguson to division rival
The Cincinnati Reds traded pitcher Caleb Ferguson to division rival St. Louis at the MLB deadline.
Cincinnati Reds have traded pitcher Caleb Ferguson to division rival St. Louis Cardinals for $250,000 in international bonus space, along with reliever Nathaniel Lowe to the Cleveland Guardians. The trade occurred ahead of the MLB trade deadline on Monday, Aug. 3, as Ferguson's season was delayed by a right oblique strain, limiting him to just 24 appearances and 23 1/3 innings before the deadline.
Ferguson, who signed a one-year, $4.5 million contract with the Reds in December 2025, had been acquired during the offseason to bolster the bullpen.
