Reds and Orioles trade

[Cincinnati Reds]

Today the Orioles and Reds completed a 6 player trade.



The Reds traded:



C MJ Melendez prospect .2

RF Steven Souza $2.3m/20/21/22/ TO $3.45/23
2B Ildemaro Vargas $.75/20, $1m/21, ARB1/22
OF Harold Ramirez .75/20, $1m/21

RP Noe Ramirez $1.5/20/21/22


for:



2B Cesar Hernandez $3.83/20/21/ TO $5.74/22

The Reds made this deal to acquire another reasonable priced MLB bat. We feel that we moved some very valuable pieces, but we needed
to meet the league roster requirements and didn't want to lose players going through waivers process. Melendez is a good C prospect, but we like
our C depth for the future and felt he was the piece to make the deal work for Orioles. The Orioles made a good trade partner as it appeared that they may have
a need for some MLB ready talent to add to their roster.

Thank you to the Orioles for the deal.
