Danny Graves Designated for Assignment.

Reds closer Danny Graves was designated for assignment today, which means that the Reds have 10 days to trade him or release him. And if you think that another MLB team will be trading for Graves and his $6.25 million salary, you haven't been following baseball very closely lately.

It's almost a certainty at this point that Graves has made his final appearance in a Reds uniform. It is a certainty that he will no longer be blowing 9th inning leads and picking up cheap saves in Cincy anymore. (That will probably become Ryan Wagner's new role.)

It's been a tough year for closers. Another one bites the dust.
