Reds / Cards trade

[Cincinnati Reds]

Reds and Cards made a 5 player trade today.

Reds acquired 1B/RF Nolan Jones $.5/23, $.75/24, $1/25, ARB1/26
& SP CJ Culpepper $.2 (Prospect)

in exchange Reds send:

SP Austin Cox $.5/23, $.75/24, $1/25, ARB1/26
SS/2B Tyler Wade $.5/23, $.5/24, $.75/25 TO
IF/OF Zach McKinstry $1.72/23, ARB1/24

Reds were looking to add prospect SP not on 40 man roster and like Nolan Jones upside in Colorado.
We have many IF options and decided to cut back on 40 man players.

Thank you to Joe (Cards) for deal

[STL Cardinals]

Accept. Culpepper just came onboard via MiLB free agency and Jones has cooled down a bit. Colorado hitters can’t really be trusted to start everyday given reverse Coors effect. Made sense to churn em out for needed depth at SS, 3B and SP.
