The Cincinnati Reds had several transactions this afternoon. The team completed their trade from last month with the San Francisco Giants, getting an undisclosed amount of cash in return for sending the Giants outfielder TJ Hopkins. He was designated for assignment but traded before he had a chance to go through the waiver process.
The Reds also lost outfielder Bubba Thompson on waivers this afternoon after he was claimed by the New York Yankees. Picked up on waivers earlier this offseason from the Kansas City Royals, Thompson was designated for assignment when the Reds needed a spot on the 40-man roster to re-sign right-handed reliever Buck Farmer on December 28th. Thompson didn’t clear waivers for the third time this year – he was designated for assignment by the Texas Rangers in the middle of August and claimed by Kansas City.
The final move today was that catcher Austin Wynns did clear waivers and he was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville. The Reds signed Wynns to a big league deal with a split contract. When they needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster to sign right-handed pitcher Frankie Montas, the team designated Wynns for assignment. No one claimed him and now he’s likely to head to Triple-A. Wynns does have the option to become a free agent if he would like, but in doing so he would be forgoing the $300,000 he’ll get as a part of his split contract with the Reds and it’s very unlikely that he would do better than that.
