So says Marc:

The Reds have acquired veteran reliever Esteban Yan and cash from the Angels for minor league pitcher Kyle Edens.

Yan, who turns 31 next month, was designated for assignment by the Angels on Friday. He has compiled a 6.85 ERA in 13 appearances this year and is making $1.25 million.

Jerry Narron said the Reds will use Yan, who can throw in the mid-90s, as a short reliever. That means it won't necessarily be Justin Germano getting the ax when Yan gets here tomorrow.

Edens, 26, was the Reds' third-round pick in the 2002 draft out of Baylor University. He was 2-1 with a 5.46 ERA in 18 appearances for Sarasota this year.

Not necessarily Germano going home, eh? Who votes for White?
