Now that the mayhem has subsided since Tuesday night’s three-team blockbuster, it’s time to address the deal that ended Trevor Bauer’s tenure in a Cleveland Indians uniform.
The Indians sent Bauer to the Cincinnati Reds, which was the extent of exiting pieces on Cleveland’s end. The Reds returned Yasiel Puig to the Indians, along with pitching prospect Scott Moss.
The third team in this triangular deal was the San Diego Padres, who received highly-regarded outfield prospect Taylor Trammell from Cincinnati. In return, San Diego shipped outfielder Franmil Reyes and Logan Allen, a young left-handed pitcher, to the Tribe.
