Deadline Trades PT 1

CIN/PIT

Reds receive:

SP Chris Washington 82/87 - 26yo - $500k thru '19
SP Trevor Bell 82 - 29yo - $4m thru '16


for


Pirates receive:


3B Leon Ruby 66/86 - 23yo - $25,100 thru '19
Reds 2nd Round Pick - 2017
$4 million cash


The Pirates get two good specs from the Reds in Leon and the 2nd pick. The 2nd round pick could turn out really good or really bad for the Pirates, so only the future will tell who wins in this trade.
The Reds get a decent spot starter in Trevor Bell and a decent spec in Chris Washington. Washington needs to improve his vitals to be a good starter because his vitals now aren't that good. Bell does have good control and movement but I can only see him as a long or middle reliever cause he does have bad endurance.

CHC/ARI

ARI trade:
1B-Paul Brumbaugh 81

CHC trade:
1B-Tod Tolerton 72/84


Arizona GM Bearsfolife had this to say "I have a lot of 1B prospects but Tolerton was a guy that I felt like was fair compensation for giving up Brumbaugh. Brumbaugh is just a bench guy for me but has good contact abilities. Fair deal I think."
