Dodgers are looking to partially rebuild while building valuable assets.  Looking ahead at Kinger's contract, we had 3 players who would be ARB1/ARB2/ARB3 eligible at the same time, so was looking to move him and get a solid return for him.  Reds were willing to move top prospects for Kingery and LaStella, and Dodgers included the RPs as an add who we felt are more easily replaceable.  With Hedges struggling offensively, Dodgers have had eyes on Bart since originally dealing him away, and have always like the lefty DL Hall.  Hopefully he continues to develop as a top LHP and hits the Orioles rotation in the next year or two.  Edwards, Rodriguez, and Kemp were included to offset the MLB players going to Reds.

Thanks to Reds GM for a quick and easy deal, and best of luck.

Reds agree to this deal. New team leadership is still getting up to speed but wanted some reasonable priced upgrades. Definitely hate to see Bart leave but with Smith just starting out on MLB roster and still having position depth, we felt that he was expendable.

First season so figured to try to make some noise and rebuild later.

Best wishes to Dodgers
