Reds / Angels trade

[Cincinnati Reds]

Reds agree to trade OF Taylor Ward $11m/21, $11/22, $11/23

to Angels

for Ethan Elliott SP $.2/prospect 

Reds have an eye towards players returning from IL and wanted to save some future cap in the process.

Thank you to Angels for trade.

[Los Angeles Angels]

Had my eyes on Ward for some time now and this was a last minute deal sent 5 minutes before the deadline. He should have the playing time to see who he really is and based on his numbers in the minors, I think there could be something here. Give up a decent prospect in Elliott but hope the reward is worth the risk.
