WAS/CIN

[Reds GM (Kyler)]

CIN Trades:
OF Tyler O'Neill (SEA) 1st .3 www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa737633&position=OF

WAS Trades:
P German Marquez (COL) 1st .3 www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=15038&position=P
OF Juan Soto (WAS) 1st .3 www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa906282&position=OF

Cap Change:
CIN: +.3
WAS: -.3

Reasoning:
Well this was an easy negotiation. I reached out to Bryan inquiring about Marquez, he responded asking about O'Neill, and we found a middle ground. It hurts to give up O'Neill who I really like. But I am a huge fan of both Marquez and Soto. Marquez is a really young pitcher with a lot of upside/projectability and a high floor. Even as a Colorado pitcher I think he becomes a really good #3 starter. Soto's potential I am enthralled by. As an 17 year old who made it to low A at the end of last year with an incredibly successful season. He has star potential as a LF with well above average hit tool and power and between him and Robles I hope to have 2/3rds of the WAS OF in 2020. Thanks for the easy negotiations Bryan. Hope O'Neill becomes what I want expect him to be for you.

I agree to this trade. Kyler asked about Marquez and said that he's a big fan of him. So I asked about O'Neill and here we are. I like getting another OF bat to go along with Judge. I think Marquez can do good next year in COL. This was just a player preference between us. I get a slightly upgraded prospect in O'Neill and he gets 2 good prospects I return. Nice dealing with you Kyler.
