Reds Trade Rece Hinds to Marlins for Triple-A Reliever Zach McCambley

Miami is betting on Hinds' upside as Cincinnati adds a low-cost right-hander to strengthen its minor-league bullpen depth.

Overview

  • MLB.com's transaction log and multiple outlets confirmed the trade on May 21, sending outfielder Rece Hinds from the Cincinnati Reds to the Miami Marlins in exchange for right-hander Zach McCambley.
  • Hinds had been designated for assignment by Cincinnati before the deal and the Marlins immediately optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville rather than adding him to the active big-league roster.
  • McCambley, 27, has not reached the majors and comes to the Reds after a strong run in Triple-A, posting a 2.36 ERA with 32 strikeouts and a 1.28 WHIP in 26.2 innings this season.
  • The Marlins must clear a 40-man roster spot to officially add Hinds, a routine administrative step that will determine how quickly he can be called up.
  • Hinds is a former second-round pick who flashed in a 2024 rookie stretch but has struggled in limited MLB work since then; he is hitting .306 with seven homers through 23 Triple-A games in 2026, which explains Miami's change-of-scenery gamble.
