The Cincinnati Reds have announced that they’ve acquired infielder Leonardo Rivas from the Los Angeles Angels to complete the trade from earlier this week that also brought right-handed pitcher Noé Ramirez to Cincinnati in exchange for reliever Raisel Iglesias and cash.
Leonardo Rivas was rated by Baseball America as the Angels #30 prospect, and rated as their #25 prospect by MLB Pipeline. He was originally signed by the Angels in July of 2014 out of Venezuela. Rivas has played both infield and outfield in his career, though a large majority of his innings have come at shortstop (2000+ innings).
