As former Cincinnati Reds shortstop Kyle Farmer reflected on the trade that sent him last month to the Minnesota Twins, he got a FaceTime call from former Reds outfielder Jesse Winker.
Farmer stays in touch with the core players of the 2020 and 2021 Reds. When he got dealt to the Twins, he had an hour-long conversation with Sonny Gray, a former Reds ace and current Twins starter. Farmer mentioned the core of players he still speaks with, like Nick Castellanos, Tucker Barnhart, Winker and Gray.
