Cody Reed is the third player listed in almost every report about the trade because he was the “throw in.” He was the guy that was included to round out the deal, not as the centerpiece, because he’s never been listed on any prospect rankings and struggled pretty mightily in his first two years of pro ball. However, once I started looking into him, he’s the player that the Reds got back that I’m most excited about. As a vocal critic of Jocketty’s, I have to tip my hat to the Reds front office for getting a player like him included in the deal.
