After a turbulent season that saw him lose his job as closer of the Seattle Mariners, Eddie Guardado will now try to recapture his past form with the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds acquired Guardado from Seattle, along with cash considerations in exchange for right handed pitcher Travis Chick, who was at Double-A Chattanooga before the trade. Chick was ranked as the 10th best prospect in the Cincinnati Reds' farm system by Baseball America entering the 2006 season.
