Traded: RF Jay Bruce (to NYM)
---The Mets playoff push is going to be very interesting with 4 corner outfielders and no center-fielder. Jay Bruce will in all likelihood replace Yoenis Cespedes next year when he opts out this winter, don't be shocked to see Jay sign an extension this winter if he hits well over the next two months.
It's somewhat sad to see Jay move on from the only organization he's ever known but the Reds had to move him Monday, there is simply no place for a high priced player with limited team control on a rebuilding club. He's been a Red since signing out of the draft in June, 2005...only Homer Bailey and Joey Votto have been with the Reds longer than Bruce has. Reds fans can rejoice years from now when he's inducted into the team Hall of Fame.
Bruce's All-Time Career Ranks with the Reds:
WAR - 36th Offensive WAR - 44th SLG% - 16th OPS% - 42nd OPS+ - 48th Games Played - 20th Adjusted Batting Wins - 41st At Bats - 16th Plate Appearances - 19th Runs Scored - 21st Runs Created - 21st Adjusted Batting Runs - 40th Hits - 27th Extra Base Hits - 12th Total Bases - 15th Times on Base - 22nd Singles - 45th Doubles - 16th Home Runs - 7th At Bats per HR - 7th Runs Batted In - 15th Walks - 21st Intentional Walks - 16th Strikeouts - 4th
Acquired via Trade: 2B Dilson Herrera (from NYM), LHSP Max Wotell (from NYM)
---The 22 year old Herrera was a consensus top 100 prospect following the 2014 season and topped out as the Mets #4 prospect, but has since lost prospect eligibility. He was originally signed by the Pirates in July, 2010 as an IFA out of Colombia and was traded to the Mets in August of 2013 for Marlon Byrd and John Buck. In late 2014 he was called up from AA to fill in for an injured Daniel Murphy, he played in 18 games and was the youngest player to play a major league game that year (20.179 years old at debut). In 2015 he started the year in AAA, but was recalled once again to fill in for an injured Daniel Wright (Murphy moving over to 3B), he ultimately saw action in 31 games. During this past offseason the Mets felt he needed more seasoning and acquired Neil Walker from the Pirates rather than give the job to Herrera, so he was considered expendable for New York. All told he's accumulated 119 days of major league service time and should be team controlled through the 2022 season assuming the Reds prevent him from reaching the 1 year mark this season. In nearly 2,400 minor league plate appearances he's graded out as an average defender at second-base and has put up a slash line of .299 - .362 - .469. He will be sent to AAA Louisville when he reports and is Brandon Phillips' heir apparent pushing Jose Peraza to SS or CF. If he were in the majors today he'd still be one of the 10 youngest players in the National League. He is burning through his 2nd option year.
---The soon to be 20 year old starter, Maximilian John Wotell was drafted by the Mets in the 3rd round of the 2015 draft out of a Charlotte, North Carolina suburb high school (University of Arizona commit - $775,000 signing bonus). He entered the season ranked as the #17 prospect in the Mets organization by Baseball America. He throws a low to mid 90's fastball and a slider, his future starting potential will depend on whether or not he can develop a changeup and how much muscle he adds to his tall frame. He will report to RK Billings.
***Herrera was added to the Reds 40 man roster - replacing Bruce (Wotell did not have to be added).

---It's an arm injury that will likely finish Lamb's season.

Sent out on Rehab Assignment: RHSP Alfredo Simon (AAA Louisville), RHRP A.J. Morris (AAA Louisville)
---The Reds are allowed to keep both players on rehab for 30 days, which means they probably won't be back until rosters expand on the 1st of September. With Simon only being on the 15 Day DL and an open 40 man spot neither player would require conjuctive 40 man roster transactions (assuming the Reds don't purchase or claim off waivers another player between now and then).
Promoted to RK Billings from AZL Reds: OF Michael Beltre
---The 21 year old has hit quite well in his second season in the AZL.
Signed for 2016 and Assigned to DSL Reds: LHP Dawrin Mendez (minor league contract)
---The 18 year old was signed out of the Dominican Republic last week.

Released: RHRP Jimmy Moran
---The 26 year old Moran was drafted by the Reds in the 18th round of the 2011 draft. Since that time he has played in over 200 minor league games, though he's yet to reach AAA he should find a job with another organization.
Activated from AA Pensacola 7 Day DL: RHSP Nick Travieso
Demoted to RK Billings from A Dayton: RHRP Keenan Kish
---Kish had been on A Dayton's reserve list but he was on a rehab assignment in the AZL, so technically this is a promotion not a demotion.

Optioned to AAA Louisville: LHSP Cody Reed
---Reed, 23, is 0-7 with a 7.36 ERA in 10 starts for Cincinnati with 67 hits, 19 walks and 12 homers allowed in 47 2/3 innings. During Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Brewers, the left-hander gave up six earned runs with five hits and three walks and did not record an out in the second inning.
Recalled to Cincinnati from AAA Louisville: 1B/OF Kyle Waldrop
---Scott Schebler has been so bad, it makes sense to see if Waldrop can actually perform at this level (if not they can dfa him this winter to open a 40 man roster spot). This is the third stint this season with the Reds for Waldrop. The 24-year-old entered the night batting .250 with one RBI in 13 games in the big leagues and .250 with 19 doubles and five home runs in 81 games for Louisville.

Placed on 3-7 Day Bereavement List: RHRP Michael Lorenzen
Recalled to Cincinnati from AAA Louisville: RHSP Tim Adleman
---Adleman was slated to start tonight for the Louisville Bats, he'll likely pitch out of the bullpen as a long reliever with Sampson slotting into Reed's rotation spot - and likely be optioned back once Lorenzen returns. Adleman, 28, is 1-1 with a 3.72 ERA in four starts for the Reds this year, all coming in May. He is 3-1 with a 2.38 ERA in 10 starts at Louisville.
Sent out on Rehab Assignment from A+ Daytona to AZL Reds: LHRP Rock Rucker
---Rucker has yet to pitch this season.
Demoted to A Dayton from A+ Daytona: RHRP Wendolyn Bautista
Sent out on Rehab Assignment from A Dayton to RK Billings: RHRP Brian Hunter
---Hunter has spent the past 2 weeks on Rehab in the AZL.

And of course tonight we will see an OF featuring both Renda and Holt instead of him. I mean I guess it's likely a "rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic" thing but would still like to see him get some regular ABs.

Signed for 2016 and Assigned to DSL Reds: OF Abel Cuevas (minor league contract 5/30/16), RHP Andres Falcon (6/15/16), IF Ranser Amador (6/15/16), OF Danny Lantigua (6/10/16)
---Cuevas signed back in May, but it was never announced (as most IFA signings aren't), he wasn't placed on a roster immediately due to being injured at that time. Abel's older brother, Israel (a IFA signee in '12) is also on the DSL Reds' roster.
Signed for 2016 and Assigned to DSL Rojos: OF Moises Rivas (6/10/16), OF Jorge Sencion (6/10/16)
---Both are 17 years olds out of the Dominican Republic.
Released: RHRP Adolfi Telleria, RHRP/OF Luis Hernandez
---Telleria has been with the Reds since signing out of the Dominican Republic in November, 2012. It's an odd release as he has pitched to a 2.81 ERA in 214 minor league innings in his career and had been putting up good numbers with the AZL Reds this year, though he is already 22 years of age.
---Hernandez has been with the Reds since signing out of the Dominican Republic in July, 2012. He was signed as an outfielder but converted to relief pitching in 2015. He's been injured all year and never made his season debut prior to his release.
