LAA/CIN trade

[Los Angeles Angels]

Reds get
Zack Littell, SP, TBR 2024/0.6M 2025/0.9M 2026/0.9M 2027/0.9M 2028/0.9M 2029/1.35M
Graham Pauley, 3b, SDG 2024/0.2M Prospect


Angels get:
Kyle Stowers, RF, BAL 2024/0.75M 2025/1M 2026/ARB1 2027/ARB2 2028/ARB3 2029/UFA
Hunter Goodman, RF, COL 2024/0.5M 2025/0.75M 2026/1M 2027/ARB1 2028/ARB2 2029/ARB3 2029/UFA
James Triantos, 2b, CHC 2024/0.2M Prospect
Austin Gauthier, SS, LAD 2024/0.2M Prospect

The Angels are happy to add some prospects who can inject a little more youth into our lineup in the years to come. Hoping Stowers can take the next step and allow his power to play and Goodman is an intriguing power bat in Colorado. Triantos is the main piece though and his performance in the AFL is a promising development especially with the power showing up. And Gauthier is a sneaky under the radar prospect who had a historically great season that perhaps in our wildest dreams can for in at SS one day.

We will miss Littell who was an unexpected find that we nearly released last year. We do have enough SP depth at this point though but we will miss that cost controlled contract. Pauley is quite promising too but he was blocked by Muncy and there are a few other 3b prospects in the farm.

[Cincinnati Reds]

Reds accept this deal. Gave up more prospect capital than we liked but if Littell continues to progress he will be a great addition at his locked in price. Have been a believer in Stowers for a while and he may actually be showing up now IRL. Triantos is ranked pretty high and can really hit.
Pauley has good minors numbers but I hear he may be a work in progress.

Thank you to Angels for this deal and good luck this year.
