The Reds added Dane Myers to their roster in a trade with the Miami Marlins for Double A outfielder, Ethan O'Donnel. Myers also plays some centerfield as does JJ Bleday signed December 27. Myers bats from the right side and Bleday from the left.

Neither are power hitters.

Myers, 29, made his first career Opening Day roster with the Marlins this past season, slashing .235/.291/.326 (72-for-307) across 106 games. Defensively, he appeared in 68 games in center field (58 starts), 31 games in right field (18 starts), and 11 games in left field (6 starts).

Prior to joining the Reds, Myers had previously spent his entire Major League career with Miami after being claimed off waivers from the White Sox on December 7, 2022. Originally selected by the Tigers in the sixth round of the 2017 first-year player draft, he made his Major League debut on July 4, 2023, and set a Marlins record by collecting 16 hits across his first 10 career games.

O'Donnell, 23, was originally selected by the Reds in the sixth round of the 2023 first-year player draft. He spent the entire 2025 campaign with AA-Chattanooga, where he slashed .236/.327/.325 in 125 games. In 2024, O'Donnell was recognized as a Midwest League All-Star for his efforts with A-Dayton.
