Brewers gets:
Tommy Bixby 3B 21 $32,300 Arb '46 65/86
Jim Talley RP 21 $23,500 Arb '46 48/84
$10 million cash
Reds gets:
Eduardo Rubalcana SP 25 $500k Arb '43 82/87
Craig McDavid RP 20 $47,100 Arb '46 72/90
Dalton Brock 3B 22 $23,500 Arb '46 69/83
Shows Bixby with the Rockies, but the Reds traded for Bixby.
I accept. I like Bixby more than Brock, I like his defense and him being a switch hitter, so I have hope that Bixby can be a better 3B spec and possibly future 3B in the majors for me. the $10 million cash helps me pay more on the stadium and also I can use some of the cash on WB. Talley is the prize in the trade for me. I'm going to probably convert him and see how well he does as a SP. Rubalcana is nice, but I'm not going to win anytime soon, he'll suck by the time that I am ready to contend. McDavid is a nice reliever prospect, but I feel that he was expendable. All in all, this is another move in turning this franchise around. win-win trade for the both of us.
