Cincy trades: Tucker Barnhart, C (CIN) - 20: $3.5M, 21: 3.75M, 22: 7.5M [$0.5M buyout in 2022]
Red Sox trades: Seth Johnson, P (TB) - Prospect Ryan Braun, OF (MIL) - 20: $6.8M August 2020 Minors Claim
CINCY LOGIC: I asked Jason if he was interested in Barnhart, and he was but needed to make room salary-wise. I’m taking on Braun so Jason has room for Barnhart. I’m not sure how long I’ll hold onto Braun since he’s currently injured and kinda expensive, but I’m okay with it. Main piece for me was Johnson, he’s in a crowded farm system in terms of pitchers, but he’s a solid prospect. Tough to see Barnhart go but I’m rebuilding so I’d prefer to take a shot on Johnson.
Nice working with you again, Jason! Smooth talks. Good luck and thanks.
