The Cincinnati Reds sent top prospect Taylor Trammell to the San Diego Padres as part of a three-team trade that brought Trevor Bauer to the Queen City. By drafting prep outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, the Reds could offset the loss of Trammell and add a supremely-talented athlete to the organization.
The Reds drafted Trammell with the 35th pick in the 2016 MLB Draft. Having played both baseball and football, Trammell was a two-sport athlete coming out of high school who possessed elite athleticism. Trammell took a little bit of seasoning to realize his potential, but after playing 126 games at Double-A last season, it looks as though the 22-year-old will soon be in the majors.
