Reds / DBacks trade

[Cincinnati Reds]

Reds and DBacks completed a trade this morning.

Reds trade away RP Caleb Ferguson to the DBacks in exchange for

SP Maddux Bruns (prospect)
LF Lazaro Armenteros (prospect)

Reds really like Ferguson but have signed some high leverage RP that made Ferguson expendable.

Thank you to Donnie for the deal!

The D-Backs accept.

For us we hate giving up Armenteros & Maddux as both show promise and we believe will be contributors at the MLB level at some point. We have always liked Ferguson and he strengthens our pen with an outside shot at a rotation spot this year or next.

Thanks for the deal, Shawn, it's appreciated and good luck this season!
