CIN/MIL Trade

[Deleted]

Cincinnati acquires: Brandon Guyer, LF/RF CLE, 3M this year then UFA
Milwaukee acquires: Yohel Pozo, Rangers catching prospect


For me, I had to find a stopgap option in right field with Avisail Garcia going on the DL. Guyer isn't anything amazing but he can hit lefties and gets at least an at bat in most games because of that. Pozo is a young catcher who hasn't shown a good eye or much power, making him seem a long way away from the bigs.

Brewers accept.  

Guyer wasn't getting much playing time and we took the opportunity to get a prospect we like for him.  

We disagree with the Reds' assessment of Pozo.  Yes he's far from the big leagues but he hits for a good average and has nearly as many BB's as K's--that's hard to find in this day and age.  We look forward to his continued development in our farm system.

Thanks to the Reds for the quick deal.
