Reds fans have been wondering for the past several days if Cincinnati was going to make a trade. With the MLB trade deadline approaching at 4 PM today, the Cincinnati Reds made their first move. Adam Duvall was traded to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for two pitching prospects and an outfielder.
Duvall, originally drafted by the San Francisco Giants in 2011, had been with the Reds since 2015. He came to Cincinnati as part of a deadline deal that included pitcher Keury Mella in exchange for Reds starter Mike Leake. Duvall split time between Triple-A Louisville and Cincinnati during his first season with the Reds.
