Rockies, Reds Swap Jeff Hoffman For Robert Stephenson

By Steve Adams | November 25, 2020 at 12:30pm CDT

In a challenge trade of sorts, the Rockies and Reds have agreed to swap a pair of former top pitching prospects. The two clubs agreed to a trade Wednesday sending right-hander Jeff Hoffman and minor league righty Case Williams from Colorado to Cincinnati in exchange for right-hander Robert Stephenson and minor league outfielder Jameson Hannah. The Reds have formally announced the swap.

Hoffman, 28 in January, was the ninth overall pick by the Blue Jays in the 2014 draft and went to the Rockies as the centerpiece of the blockbuster deadline swap that shipped Troy Tulowitzki to Toronto. The hope at the time of the deal was that the former East Carolina University ace could develop into a key front-of-the-rotation piece at the ever-challenging Coors Field, but that simply hasn’t panned out.

Jeff Hoffman | John Hefti-USA TODAY Sports

Hoffman has logged Major League innings in each of the past five seasons but never performed up to those lofty prospect expectations. In a total of 230 2/3 frames at the MLB level, he’s compiled a 6.40 ERA and a similarly discouraging 5.58 FIP. Along the way, Hoffman has averaged 7.7 K/9, 4.2 BB/9 and 1.79 HR/9 to go along with a 40.7 percent ground-ball rate.

Unappealing as those baseline numbers are, however, there’s also reason to believe that Hoffman may yet have another gear into which he can tap. As noted here at MLBTR back in May, Hoffman possesses high-end velocity and spin rate on his four-seamer and above-average spin on a curveball that generally befuddled hitters in 2019. The Reds and their affinity for high-spin pitchers may have a different idea about how Hoffman can maximize what looks to at least be a viable two-pitch mix — be it concentrating his four-seamer more in the top of the zone, altering his release point or any number of other possible tweaks.

Hoffman is out of minor league options, so he’ll need to open the 2021 season on the Reds’ roster. If they’re able to successfully tap into his still-dormant potential, he’d be controllable for another four seasons.

The tale of Stephenson in Cincinnati is rather similar. He’s a hard-throwing 27-year-old who is out of minor league options and at various points ranked among the game’s elite pitching prospects but has yet to develop into a consistent producer.

Robert Stephenson | David Kohl-USA TODAY Sports

Stephenson has had recent success, however, giving the Reds 64 2/3 frames of 3.76 ERA and 3.63 FIP ball with 11.3 K/9 against 3.3 BB/9 as recently as 2019. Unfortunately for both the Reds and Stephenson, he followed that up with a ghastly 2020 effort in which he served up 11 runs in just 10 innings — thanks largely to an astonishing eight home runs allowed.

It’s worth noting that Stephenson, like Hoffman, possesses excellent velocity and spin rate on his fastball — both of which contributed to him recording an 18.7 percent swinging-strike rate across the past two seasons. Stephenson’s whiff rate, in fact, ranked among the 99th percentile of all big league relievers in 2019, so there’s plenty of reason to think that he could also emerge (or reemerge) as a viable setup piece for the Rockies. He’s controlled for three more seasons — one less year than they controlled Hoffman.

Hannah, 23, was a second-round pick by the A’s back in 2018 but was traded to the Reds in the 2019 swap that brought righty Tanner Roark to Oakland. He has just one full professional season under his belt after this year’s minor league campaign was canceled, having slashed .274/.339/.369 at Class-A Advanced in ’19. Hannah currently ranks 15th among Cincinnati farmhands at MLB.com and 23rd at FanGraphs, drawing praise for a combination of plus speed, above-average fielding and an average or better hit tool. Hannah lacks power, and scouting reports peg his arm as below average as well.

Williams was the Rockies’ fourth-round pick just this past summer. He’s yet to pitch in a pro game due to the cancellation of the 2020 minor league system and was at least somewhat of a surprise pick, as he didn’t rank in the draft’s top 200 prospects at MLB.com or the top 500 at Baseball America.

However, as GM Jeff Bridich explained to MLB.com’s Thomas Harding at the time, Williams was a local product whom the club had scouted extensively. It’s possible that with a full high school season, of course, Williams would’ve been vaulted onto those pre-draft rankings. And it’s clear that the Rox aren’t the only club intrigued by Williams and his 96 mph heater, as evidenced by the very fact that the Reds have had him included in today’s swap. Indeed, Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer tweets that Cincinnati GM Nick Krall now says his team planned to draft Williams before the Rockies snagged him in the fourth round.

Fansided’s Robert Murray first reported that a trade was in place and that Hannah was in the deal. MLB Network’s Jon Heyman and The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal added details on the framework (Twitter links) before Murray reported all of the names involved.

You are not getting a guy like Arenado for a couple of Class A guys that someone at Baseball America thinks might be good in 2024 or so.

          I love having a guy that can win his 8th consecutive Gold Glove and still have people claim he had a bad year. Never mind the fact that his “year” was only 48 games long and that tells absolutely NOTHING. In a normal “season, his 2020 “year” would have only counted for about a third of a total season. Anyone can have a bad third of a season, but most of the time the other two thirds of the year cover it up. I don’t put any stock into anything that came out of the 2020 season. NOTHING AT ALL.

          ANY player that goes to Coors is going to have a big home/road split. That is what happens when you play your home games at the best hitting park. It’s just like pitchers having big home/road splits when they play for the Giants or Pirates. It is not indicative of talent, just a stat that some people read way too much into.

          Hoffman’s an ex top shelf pitching prospect and Stephenson is, too. Maybe the two organizations liked each others’ guy better. And the Rockies need CF depth in their system. These kinds of trades happen all the time.

          Besides, the Rox are going to make Story their centerpiece and trade Arenado. If they trade anyone. They certainly won’t trade both.

          Yes there are, Story and Lindor are a part of the group. But it doesn’t matter what is available next off season because you still have a season to play before that comes. Unless you just want to not worry trying this year and just go fishing instead. That seems to be a theme among a lot of pro teams nowadays.

          (Buyer beware?) Apparently you’ve fallen asleep amidst the dismal season the Sox put up. Gray has a great contract, and has been phenomenal other than a back issue he had that he bounced back from quite nicely in September.. on most teams he’s a #1 or 2 starter. As a Reds fan I hope they don’t deal him. His experience of ups and downs and how to deal with them I feel can and has had a big time effect in young starters like Castillo and Mahle…

      Well that’s why you’re posting, and not a GM( I mean that with no disrespect). It’s the stuff that intrigues the Reds. It’s the reason they brought in Kyle B to completely revamp the P development. There’s no secret that the Rockies, as an org, are just so far behind the MLB development curve. Hoffman was probably better suited for the pen regardless.

      This is where the fade makes complete sense; the reds feel they got the most out of Stephenson, and Hoffman is probably a guy they are salivating at getting there hands on. Plus Coors lol

    Reds must be trying to corner the market on pitcher-athletes. Rockies used Hoffman as a pinch runner a number of times. But he can’t hit like Lorenzen.

    A real trade! That means other transactions are not too far away.

    The Reds have a great recent track record with post-hype pitchers with diminished value, I wouldn’t be surprised if they can make Hoffman a useful piece.

    I initially read it that Tyler Stephenson was getting traded

    The curse of playing for the Rockies. No matter how good you are, Coors Field is better.

    Disappointing to see the Reds give up on Stephenson as he was pretty lights out when the Reds first started using him as a reliever, and he looked like a potential future closer. That being said, I’ve always thought that if Hoffman could get away from Coors he could have some solid potential too.

    Stephenson was pretty much out of potential. Best of luck to Bob Steve in the Mile High City. Reds really wanted the 4th round draft pick (what was his name?) Case Williams, it looks like to me. Of course I am not managing anymore.

      I care. So if I am now family, which one of these guy’s houses do I get to go to for Thanksgiving? I want the drumstick.

        You better not go anywhere, tough guy. Remember the guidelines for a Happy Thanksgiving – isolate.

          Yeah, I wasn’t actually planning a trip or anything. I went nowhere and had my new traditional Thanksgiving spaghetti dinner with the only people in my household. But thanks for thinking of me as a tough guy.

    Trade was value for value, or should it be no value for no value?

      Change of scenery deal. Kind of reminds me of the pitching version of the Ian Stewart/Tyler Colvin deal. It would be great if Hannah becomes the DJ LeMahieu of that deal.

        Great memory. I see Hannah is a fringe player.

          To paraphrase the great Aaron Neville, I don’t know much, but I know my Rockies.

          You are probably right about Hannah, but it’s fun to dream. Best case scenario is that he could be a new version of Juan Pierre. Likely scenario is he is a new version of Eric Young Jr. that will either be lost on waivers in his 3rd year or traded in a similar situation as this deal.

    Hopefully a change of scenery works out for Hoffman and Stephenson. I think Rockies would also benefit from flipping Jon Gray to say, Minnesota for Byron Buxton.

    Good trade for both teams, change of scenery needed, Steve bob was done here and Hoffman is a gem in the ruff and now w Boddy & Co.and away from 5,280’ , I don’t think we’ve done many trades with Rockies, this could be to test the waters for future trades, perhaps Story!

    This is good for the Reds. Stephenson was serving up home runs at bad times and the Reds gave him every opportunity to stick with the Club. I wouldn’t be surprised if Raisel Iglesias is next. He has been inconsistent and gave up a lot of home run balls to blow games. Payroll we will be a concern for most clubs after 2020 not just the Recs
