MLB Trade Deadline Shockers: Which Teams Made Genius Moves and Who Set Themselves Up for Disaster?
Cincinnati Reds: B
Moves:
-
Three-team trade with Tampa Bay and Los Angeles: Acquired SP Zack Littell from Tampa Bay, traded RHP Brian Van Belle to Tampa Bay, traded LHP Adam Serwinowski to Los Angeles
-
Traded DH Miguel Andujar to Cincinnati for SP prospect Kenya Huggins
Some folks were clowning on the Reds for the Hayes deal, but I actually dig that move. He’s a bad hitter (career 87 OPS+), but the glove at the hot corner is downright special. If Hayes keeps swinging with a pool noodle and keeps picking it like Brooks Robinson, he’s a 2.0-WAR player. And leaving the debacle that is the Pirates could be a boon for Hayes. If there’s any untapped potential in the bat, this could be a really valuable player who’s making only $7 million.
