Dodgers, Reds make seven-player deal

The Los Angeles Dodgers had a surplus of outfielders. With one attention-getting deal, they reshaped their roster in hopes of another pennant run.

The reigning NL champions shook up their lineup on Friday, trading Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp and left-hander Alex Wood along with cash to the Cincinnati Reds for a pair of prospects as part of a seven-player deal.

The Reds included starter Homer Bailey in the swap,

a way of freeing them from the $28 million owed him in the final year of his contract.

The Dodgers get minor leaguer infielder Jeter Downs and right-hander Josiah Gray. The Reds got catcher Kyle Farmer for depth at the position.

■ The Cardinals have found their elite lefthanded reliever: Andrew Miller has agreed to terms on a two-year deal with St. Louis, with a vesting option for 2021. The 33-year-old Miller was a key reason the Indians advanced to the World Series in 2016 and he was voted the MVP of the ALCS that year, striking out 14 batters in 7.2 innings.

■ The Rockies have brought in Daniel Murphy to boost an offense big on pop but lackluster in batting average. The veteran infielder has agreed to a $24 million, two-year contract. The Rockies hit .256 last season, their lowest mark in team history. Murphy is a .330 hitter in 26 games at Coors Field.
