BOS/CIN Trade

[Boston Red Sox (Ahmed)]

Boston Red Sox acquire:

C Sean Murphy ($3.80 2023) [4]

Cincinnati Reds acquire:

C Tyler Stephenson ($1 2023) [3]
2B/CF Christopher Morel ($0.50 2023) [3]

This lands me yet another big fish on my team for my run to the chosen land. After acquiring Arraez and the emergence of Nootbar, Morel became an expendable piece for me so attaching him with Stephenson for a huge offense upgrade at C. Good dealings my friend.

[Reds GM (Dave)]

Reds agree
Hated to move Murphy, but might not be able to afford him in offseason. I do like Stephenson, I think he could be ready to step up and morel is a star in the making and fills a couple of holes for me for future.

[Rays GM]

Pass. Upset I didn’t keep morel.

[Mets GM (Jack)]

Your loss, you could've had him before I started speaking with Cinci

[White Sox GM (Michael)]

Feels like one of those deals where both Stephenson and Morel have to hit their 80th percentile outcomes to make it worthwhile. I think the structure of the deal is fine but could've gotten more value here. Approve

Boston Red Sox (Ahmed), Reds GM (Dave),

If no money is exchanged this would put BOS over the cap by $200K.
