Reds Acquire Trevor Bauer In 3-Team Deal With Indians, Padres

By Connor Byrne | July 31, 2019 at 10:18am CDT

Last night’s stunning three-team trade is now official.  The Indians have traded star right-hander Trevor Bauer to the Reds, who sent back right fielder Yasiel Puig and lefty pitching prospect Scott Moss.  Cleveland also added a trio of players from the Padres: outfielder Franmil Reyes, young left-hander Logan Allen, and rookie-level infielder Victor Nova.  On the San Diego end of the swap, the Friars have landed much-hyped outfield prospect Taylor Trammell from the Reds.  Amazingly, the finishing touch on Puig’s brief Reds career was his involvement in a dust-up with the Pirates, which actually went down after the trade agreement was reached.  That finale may have edged out Bauer’s last impression as an Indian from Sunday.

At 49-55 and 6 1/2 games out of wild-card position, Cincinnati’s chances of earning a playoff spot this year appear close to dead. Nevertheless, the poor win-loss results the team has achieved this season didn’t deter president of baseball operations Dick Williams and general manager Nick Krall, whose goal is to make a more serious playoff push in 2020. The Reds may be in position to do that by picking up Bauer, who – barring more deals – could team with Luis Castillo, Sonny Gray, Anthony DeSclafani and Tyler Mahle to give the Reds one of the game’s best rotations next season. Cincinnati’s starting staff has been a formidable group without Bauer this year, but it could lose one or two veterans by Wednesday’s trade deadline. Tanner Roark and Alex Wood look like possible candidates to wind up on the move, but even if they stay put through the season, they’re not under contract beyond then.

The 28-year-old Bauer has been a quality, albeit somewhat frustrating, starter since he entered the pro ranks as the third overall pick of the Diamondbacks in 2011. He went to the Indians in a three-team trade in 2012 (which also involved the Reds) and has since pitched to a 3.89 ERA/3.95 FIP across 1,044 1/3 innings and 180 appearances (170 starts). Bauer was at his best last year, during which he earned Cy Young consideration on the strength of a splendid 2.21 ERA/2.44 FIP over 175 1/3 frames.

While Bauer hasn’t been as effective this season, he has still notched a solid 3.79 ERA/4.17 FIP with 10.63 K/9 against 3.62 BB/9 through a league-leading 156 2/3 innings. That was eminently valuable production to a Cleveland team which has been without Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco and Mike Clevinger for significant parts of the season, but the Tribe nonetheless deemed Bauer expendable. In his final act as an Indian, Bauer fired a ball from the pitcher’s mound over the center field wall Sunday after a frustrating outing in Kansas City.

Clearly, Bauer’s on-field tantrum last weekend didn’t have an adverse affect on his trade value. The Indians are bringing back a major haul for Bauer, who’s making $13MM now, will earn an arbitration raise next season and has said he plans to go year to year in free agency thereafter. As a 62-44 team that holds the American League’s top wild-card spot and trails the AL Central-leading Twins by 2 1/2 games, the Indians were only going to trade Bauer if it helped them stay in contention this season. It appears this deal will enable them to accomplish that. It’ll also shave quite a bit of salary from the Indians’ 2020 books while giving them multiple potential long-term pieces.

Puig is only under control through this season, during which he’s making a $9.7MM salary, but will team with Reyes to help give the Indians the right-handed outfield/DH punch they’d been seeking on the trade market. With the Puig and Reyes acquisitions, the Indians have become the first team to ever land two 20-home run hitters in one midseason trade, Joel Sherman of the New York Post points out.

The 28-year-old Puig joined the Reds last winter in a previous blockbuster involving the Dodgers. Although Puig got off to a horrible start this season, his production has taken off over the past several weeks. Puig now owns a .252/.302/.475 slash with 22 home runs and 14 stolen bases (19 attempts) across 404 plate appearances. Long a capable defender in right field, Puig has also performed well in that aspect this year.

One of the key elements of this deal for Puig is that it completely wipes out the possibility of him receiving a qualifying offer after the season. Puig only looked like a borderline candidate for a QO, but now that he’s off the Reds, he’s on schedule to reach free agency unfettered over the winter.

Just as Bauer’s Indians stint ended in bizarre fashion, so did Puig’s days with the Reds. He was involved in a brawl during the Reds-Pirates game Tuesday when news of the trade came down. Puig may have to serve a suspension early in his Tribe tenure as a result.

There are no such concerns centering on Reyes, who has emerged as one of the game’s foremost power bats since he debuted a year ago. Although Reyes has struggled to consistently get on base this season, his first full campaign in the majors, the big-bodied 24-year-old has still batted .255/.314/.536 (117 wRC+) with 27 home runs in 354 PA. Given his prolific home run totals, Reyes could eventually rake in sizable sums via arbitration, but that isn’t something the Indians will have to worry about for the foreseeable future. Reyes isn’t on track to reach arbitration until after the 2021 season, and he’s not scheduled to become a free agent until the conclusion of the 2024 campaign.

Not to be forgotten, the Indians are also getting three less established players in this deal in Allen, Nova and Moss. The 22-year-old Allen entered the season as a top 100-caliber prospect. He has since struggled in a 25 1/3-inning major league sample and in 57 2/3 frames with Triple-A El Paso of the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. However, Allen was still regarded as one of the many high-end prospects in a jam-packed Padres system. FanGraphs’ Kiley McDaniel and Eric Longenhagen ranked Allen as the Padres’ eighth-best farmhand back in May, writing that he “comfortably projects as a No. 4 starter.”

Nova, 19, was not grouped in with the Padres’ premier farmhands, but Longenhagen tweets that the infielder’s “an interesting, bat-first flier.” The Dominican Republic native has held his own this year in rookie ball, where he has batted .330/.421/.451 (136 wRC+) with seven steals in 109 PA.

Now 24, Moss became a Red when they used a fourth-round pick on him in 2016. The former Tommy John patient has since put up appealing results in the minors, including this year. In his first experience in Double-A ball, Moss has thrown 102 innings and recorded a 3.44 ERA/3.52 FIP with 10.85 K/9, though he has walked just over five hitters per nine. Moss ranked as the Reds’ 12th overall prospect at MLB.com, which notes he has a “somewhat limited” ceiling but could turn into a back-end starter or swingman at the MLB level.

The highest-ranked prospect in this trade is Trammell, whom Baseball America and ESPN’s Keith Law (subscriptions required) placed near the top of the sport in their most recent updates. BA rates Trammell 41st, while Law’s even more bullish (No. 14). This hasn’t been a hugely effective season for the 21-year-old Trammell, who has batted .236/.350/.338 (108 wRC+) with six homers and 17 steals in 377 PA during his initial taste of Double-A action. However, youth and injuries have played a part in Trammell’s unspectacular output, explains Law, who contends the youngster has the tools to become “a good regular or a star” in left field.

The Padres, of course, surrendered a substantial amount to acquire the unproven Trammell. But trading Reyes will somewhat enable the club to alleviate its current logjam in the outfield. With Reyes out of the mix, the Padres still have two starting-caliber corner outfield options in Hunter Renfroe and the maligned, expensive Wil Myers. They also have rookie Josh Naylor, Travis Jankowski and Franchy Cordero as 40-man options who are either in the minors or injured at present.

Weighing all the pieces in this trade, it’s all the more surprising the Blue Jays couldn’t reel in a greater return for righty Marcus Stroman this past weekend. At $7.4MM, Stroman’s cheaper than Bauer, under control for the same period and has arguably been the better of the two this season. Nevertheless, in a trade with the Mets, the Jays were only able to secure two non-elite prospects – pitchers Anthony Kay and Simeon Woods Richardson – for Stroman. There was plenty of chatter afterward that teams were clinging to their prospects and unwilling to give up truly outstanding young talent anymore, but this three-way deal shows that isn’t the case.

Jeff Passan of ESPN broke the news of the deal. Additional players involved were conveyed by Jon Heyman of MLB Network, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Dennis Lin of The Athletic, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, and Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com.

          Any suspension may nix the entire deal if it’s longer than a game. The Indians are in win-now mode and one game could be the difference; I can’t see this trade becoming official until Cleveland’s FO knows Puig’s immediate future.

          Multiple games and this trade is dead in the water. Guaranteed.

          Padres came out great Allen is a pitcher that will be sent to the minors, Reyes for Trammel is the trade and the Padres have a future All Star in Trammel. Reyes is no No. 4 hitter, way too many K’s, slow runner and forget his OF lack of defense he is terrible. He’ll hit sixth in your line up. One thing is he has a good sense of humor always laughing but then going from SD to Cleveland yeck. he may lose his sense of humor. The mistake by the lake.

          Strahm was injured when we got him, but we also got Travis Wood and Esteury Ruiz, who was in rookie ball.

          We gave up Trevor Cahill, our best starter at the time, Brandon Maurer, who was our closer (20 saves at the time), and Ryan Buchter, an effective reliever. All off our ML roster.

          We were Travis Wood’s last major league team.

          We still don’t really know what Strahm is going to be, or if Ruiz will ever be a big league player.

          That was only considered a “big trade” from the Royals perspective. From ours, it was just more dismantling of the ML roster.

          Trevor Cahill was a FA at the end of the year. Brandon Maurer is and was worthless. Ryan Buchter is decent but I think I’ll take Matt Strahm over him. Then we get whatever Ruiz might end up doing or being traded for.

          20 saves by July 24 is worthless? After a very rough start to the season, he was our closer. Preller traded 3 of our 11 pitchers just to continue tanking the team.

          Yes, Strahm has turned out OK, so far. We’ll see.

          Brandon Maurer had a 5.72 ERA in 2017 with the Padres. He was worthless. He was also non-tendered last offseason and didn’t even get a major league deal so if you really miss him that much, we could have brought him back for the league minimum.

          What part of “rough start” didn’t you understand? I notice you completely ignored the fact that he had 20 saves by July 24.

          You’re so typical of most online Padre fans: ignorant about baseball, OK with losing, and terrified to say anything critical of the team and its GM.

          What part of “law of averages” don’t you understand? His entire body of work with the Padres in 2017 came out to a 5.72 ERA. And he was even worse with the Royals. Hence him being non-tendered last offseason.

          “You’re so typical of most online Padre fans: ignorant about baseball, OK with losing, and terrified to say anything critical of the team and its GM.”

          That isn’t true at all. In fact if you actually read my other comments on this thread you’d know that I don’t like this trade. Not only are you ignorant about baseball, but you also appear to be on a mission to prove that you and only you are right. Not a good combination.

          Cahill was a FA. They had to trade him. Maurer was not a significant loss. Strahm replaces Buchter in the worst case scenario.

          So far Preller has not proven you wrong on that last part. I’m confident about Gore and Patiño tho.

        I actually think the Indians made the BEST deadline move of the year! Two above average offensive outfielders (both better than anything they had in house), one of whom has 5 years of control left, and three above average prospects for a pitcher whose shenanigans they were tired of? What a great move by the Indians! Bauer is a good pitcher, but his attitude just hasn’t improved. He still thinks he’s the best pitcher in the world and he’s proven that he’s good but not great. Indians win, even if they don’t!

        The DIamondbacks and the Braves round out the top three deadline movers and shakers this year, by the way!

          Reyes’ offensive numbers aren’t in question and don’t make him the DH – it’s his defensive ineptitude that does. If he gets a hold of one, it’ll go out of any park.

          Allen has a high floor and low ceiling. He could be useful in a rotation with a bunch of high ceiling guys (Salazar, Carrasco, etc.). Not the worst get for a guy it looks like they were done with, but if they really were tired of his antics – why would they bring in Puig?

          Reyes’ defense is bad, but he’s a slugger with 27 HRs and counting.

          Allen is a top-10 prospect on a deep farm system who started a total of 4 games, and relieved in 4 games.

          Either one of those is worth more than that OF prospect. But that seems to be the best Preller can do.

          Not sure why SD gave up so much, but I do like the addition of Trammell. Great prospect, great upside. Really wondering what Cincinnati was thinking here. Bauer is good, but two top 10 prospects and a legit major league piece providing value NOW good? Not sure about their thinking here. Then to follow up with trades of Gennnett and Roark for next to nothing? We’ll see, but I’m not sold that the Reds were thinking wisely here!

      Why? Reyes is a 40 HR RHB that fits best at DH but can also play RF if needed and has 5 plus seasons of control. Puig is a FA at the end of the season but he also has 20+ HR pop. They also got a potential #3-#4 starter that is MLB ready.

      What they lost is a guy that would be gone after next season.

          Because this deal makes much more sense for the Astros or Yankees to make is why it’s odd. Giving up Trammell for a one season coming off a likely at best .500 season is a questionable and certainly risky move no matter how much you want to deny it

          I disagree. Trammel might be a star, but he hasn’t mastered AA. He needs to start there again. His power is MIA. So, if he Durant have a great year in 2020, he’s 23 and in AA. Is he anything special then? From the Reds perspective, they must feel like getting a really good starter is worth the uncertainty. Plus…we’ve really reached a place where control is more important than talent. Good for the reds for going against the grain.

          I’d disagree w that statement. This would be a fine move for the Yankees or Astros to give up control for talent. Control is what it is when you’re ready for the WS. It’s like the Stroman to the Mets move. I don’t completely hate it for the Reds. It’s extremely risky. They’ve already dealt one fast rising prospect this year for a season of Alex wood and Yasiel Puig so it really should be par for the course from them. Trammell is just a better prospect than Gray or Downs was.

          I see your point, but I think it would be equally risky for the reds to pencil trammel in for a 2020 callup when he’s struggling in AA and they can get a 2020 rotation piece for him. Puig was leaving anyway, and the reds have other options. San Diego got absolutely hosed, though.

          The top 30 prospect who’s stinking up AA ball? Sounds like another Ruben Rivera (#2 overall prospect) or Rymer Liriano (#49 overall) – can’t miss prospects who never put up #’s to match their “tools”. But, Preller can say he still has one of the best farm systems to try to stay employed for another year or two while the magic date for the Padres return to relevance shifts out to 2022.

          Or “mr. padre” Preller can point out the 20 year old shortstop he stole from the whitesoxs ….Or stealing Chris Paddack from the Marlins? Should I continue??It’s funny how we have the lowest pay roll in baseball (still after signing machado) so we have a money to throw at Garrett Cole next offseason. So why again we aren’t making the playoffs until 2022 crystal ball guy?

        It also frees up a helluva lot of money Bauer was going to get next year. Salazar (a wild card) steps in immediately on Thursday with Kluber coming back sometime soon.

    The Reds have a solid top 3 now in Bauer, Gray, and Castillo. A couple of solid off-season moves and they could be a threat next yr.

      Two of Mahle/DeSclafani/Wood rounding out that rotation makes it pretty damn good. If they can add a middle of the order masher they will be scary.

        From what I hear, Puig liked his time in Cincy. Wouldn’t be surprised if he resigns; he was starting to groove it in that ballpark. Not up in arms over the loss of Trammell; he is still just a prospect having a mediocre year. It is so hard to get pitchers to sign with Cincy so I do not fault them for this. They actually have an OF surplus with Ervin.

      Made a lot of sense for Cleveland actually considering they have solid pitching and multiple needs in the OF that has now been addressed. The Reds are set up for a very good rotation for the next few years and clear out a crowded OF. The Padres get a top prospect while also clearing spots in their outfield. It’s about as close to a win-win-win as it gets.

      Well bob;

      I wrote last off-season when people were making ridiculous trade scenarios regarding Kluber to the Padres that Franmil Reyes would be perfect for the Indians – although they would want far more. Then Reyes had surgery so I pulled off.

      If anyone can actually get something out of Puig it’s Tito. Bauer and Carrasco came over to the Indians as know-it-all hotheads. Say what you will, but Puig can influence a game.

      Add in that the Indians are great at developing pitchers. Who in MLB couldn’t use another young lefty in the pen? Indians got Hand and Cimber squared away. Allen is only 22 years-old. Maybe he even becomes a spot starter in 2020.

      Appears the Reds gave up on Trammel, and the Padres may want to give Renfroe more playing time – plus a few of their minor league OF’s might be ready for MLB playing time shortly.

      Indians have quite the organization. It all came together when they bagged Tito and later got rid of Shapiro.

        P.S.

        I never believed the mainstream media’s proposed trades for Bauer, with all the name candidates.

        The Indians FO is savvy. I figured if they traded Bauer they’d get under-the-radar players – at least one controllable young player (they got 2), and one veteran that could help them in the 2019 stretch run. They’ve been interested in Puig since the season started.

        They have plenty of pitching. Bauer was an innings eater, but he can be replaced. Fact is that Bieber and Clevinger are now stars – even passing Kluber, Corrasco, and Bauer.
        _

        ….and the Indians get yet another LHP to work with, along with a young INF!?!?!?

        This may be as good as the trade the Rays made last year for Chris Archer.

        WOW! What a front office!!!!! What an organization!!!!!!!!

I don’t know if Kluber Bieber and Clevinger is enough. It’s more pitching than the other teams in the AL currently have though. This was not a bad deal for Cleveland by any means

He turns 22 in September and is hitting .236/.350/.338 with 6 homers in AA. Kinda good, but not eye popping. I wanted to see more from Logan Allen. I am hoping this deal isn’t over and the Padres get more.
