Reds / Twins

[Minnesota Twins]

The Minnesota Twins trade:

Nathaniel Lowe (prospect)
Alec Bohm (prospect)
Michael Beltre (prospect)
Justin Steele (prospect)

to the Cincinnati Reds for:

Freddie Freeman, 1B (Atl) 2020: 17.6 / 2021: 25 / 2022: UFA
Jed Lowrie, 2B (NYM) 2020: 15 / 2021: 15 / 2022: 15 / 2023: UFA

I needed a 1B and the position this year is very thin. I was able to move some highly regarded prospects for one of the best in the game. My squad is rounding out for a big run this year. Hoping everyone can stay healthy. Let’s go twinkies!

Thanks Reds for the deal.

We’re very happy for Freddie and Jed and are truly excited about Nate Lowe and Alec Bohm. This gives more flexibility to our current and future payroll and helps to shore up a poor minor league system. We believe Lowe will be a big time contributor starting in 2020
