The Cincinnati Reds acquired much-traveled lefty Bruce Chen from Montreal for middle reliever Jim Brower. Chen hasn't pitched particularly well this season but is only 25 and flashed plenty of talent early on in his career.

Chen will start out as Cincy's fifth starter, but the Reds' rotation isn't set in stone, so a few good outings could move Chen into a more prominent spot.
If you ask me it was a stupid move because Brower is a good pitcher, and I think he would be a good starter if they gave him some time. Chen on the other hand has not been so good this year.
