Cincinnati Reds' Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings February 13, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1970-The National League office begins their move from Cincinnati to San Francisco MLB.COM Reds deal Phillips to Braves for 2 pitchers McKirahan, Portuondo acquired as veteran goes to hometown team after 11 seasons in Cincy By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | 6:36 PM ET + 670 COMMENTS GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Brandon Phillips' previous refusals to waive his no-trade rights both this winter and the previous one left Reds general manager Dick Williams with little hope of moving the team's longtime second baseman. But it happened on Sunday, when the Reds sent Phillips and cash to the Braves for two Minor League pitchers. Because the Reds will be paying all but $1 million of Phillips' $14 million salary for 2017, the Commissioner's Office had to approve the trade. Phillips, who gained his no-trade rights as a 10-and-5 player, waived them to clear the way for the Stone Mountain, Ga., native to play for his hometown club. Cincinnati received left-handed pitcher Andrew McKirahan and right-handed pitcher Carlos Portuondo. "I think we all collectively thought this was the best move for the future of the organization," Williams said. "It's tough when you say goodbye to a popular player like that, especially one that's been with you a long time, and his tenure has made such a connection to the fans. We're not trying to win a popularity contest. We're just trying to do what we collectively feel is the best for the longer term future of the organization." The Braves became motivated to make the deal after learning infielder Sean Rodriguez is expected to be out three-to-five months recovering from left shoulder surgery after he was injured in a car accident. Phillips blocked a trade to the Braves in November and also declined trades last winter to the Nationals and D-backs. The previous talks with Atlanta and the club's need to replace Rodriguez sped up the process this time. "It went pretty quickly, just a couple of days," Williams said. "We had had some conversations with Brandon's representatives recently where they had made it known to us that Brandon had sort of shifted his position on wanting to go somewhere." The Reds' longest-tenured player, Phillips spent the last 11 seasons in Cincinnati, which included all three of his All-Star campaigns. He hit .291/.320/.416 with 11 home runs, 64 RBIs and 14 stolen bases in 141 games in 2016. Acquired from the Indians in April 2006, Phillips was a three-time National League All-Star and won four NL Gold Glove Awards. He also won a 2011 NL Silver Slugger Award. In recent seasons, the 35-year-old played through several hand or wrist injuries but also provided diminishing returns offensively and defensively. Since peaking with an .816 OPS in 2007, he had a .723 OPS in 2015 and it was .736 in '16. But there is no denying that Phillips was a key cornerstone -- along with Joey Votto, Jay Bruce and Johnny Cueto among others -- that helped Cincinnati reach the postseason three times from 2010-13. That included two NL Central titles. Phillips was popular with fans because of dazzling defensive plays, a flashy style, his quick embrace of social media and his willingness to take pictures and sign autographs. "I think he did have a unique understanding of the value of connecting with fans, and you'll see an outpouring of love and support for him now that he's leaving because people did feel like he connected with them," Williams said. On the other hand, Phillips' occasionally mercurial personality also created friction. In 2010, comments to a reporter about the St. Louis Cardinals sparked a bench-clearing incident the following day that involved catcher Yadier Molina. In 2012, Phillips told a magazine that his new six-year, $72 million contract with the Reds was a "slap in the face" because he had to wait for Votto's mega- contract to be completed first. In 2013, Phillips was caught on camera verbally abusing a Reds beat writer. Now it's time to turn the page. With Phillips leaving, the Reds have achieved one of their major offseason goals in trying to clear a middle-infield spot. Both Jose Peraza and Dilson Herrera -- who was acquired from the Mets for Bruce in August -- will compete for the job. Peraza, who batted .324 for the Reds last season, would appear to have the inside track. The team has also made efforts this offseason to move shortstop Zack Cozart. Right now, Cozart, Peraza and Herrera are set to get the majority of playing time in Spring Training. "We've still got a plethora of young guys that we're excited to get a look at," Williams said. "You mentioned the three up the middle that we're going to give at-bats to. We've got other guys as well. [Arismendy] Alcantara is going to get some time in the middle infield. We've got some non-roster guys like Zach Vincej -- a Gold Glove winner in the Minor Leagues last year at shortstop. Some other guys we'll give reps to -- Tony Renda we've seen play some middle infield." Both Williams, and manager Bryan Price, had discussed with Phillips that the club would be looking to the future more this season. It likely would have reduced his playing time. "Those were good conversations between Brandon and myself. I know Bryan had some similar talks with him. That may have factored into his thinking. I really can't speak for him," Williams said. McKirahan, 27, has a 2.20 ERA in 96 Minor League games but missed all of 2016 recovering from Tommy John surgery on his left elbow. He was originally in the Cubs' organization, followed by the Marlins as a Rule 5 Draft selection before ultimately being claimed off waivers in April 2015 by Atlanta. Portuondo, 29, was signed by the Braves in February 2016 as an international free agent from Cuba. He made 44 starts and 81 relief appearances for Santiago in Cuba's Serie Nacional. He spent last season in the Minor Leagues, pitching for Atlanta's Class A Advanced affiliate at Carolina and Triple-A Gwinnett. Williams said he considers Portuondo, a control pitcher who's not overpowering, more as Minor League depth. He said with McKirahan, a lefty who can get his fastball up to 94 mph, the organization is trying to "catch lightning in a bottle" as he comes off the surgery. Neither McKirahan nor Portuondo will be added to the 40-man roster or attend big league camp. Fantasy spin | Fred Zinkie (@FredZinkieMLB) Unlikely to experience a significant change in fantasy value as a result of this deal, the veteran Phillips remains a late-round mixed- league option given his ability to contribute double-digit totals in homers and swipes. In the bigger picture, the three-time All-Star will help lengthen a fairly formidable lineup with a handful of mixed-league assets -- such as Ender Inciarte, Freddie Freeman, Matt Kemp and Dansby Swanson. The trade's biggest fantasy winner appears to be former Atlanta farmhand Peraza, who will likely assume Cincy's newly vacant second-base spot. After batting .324 with 21 steals across 256 plate appearances with the Reds last season, the 22-year-old speedster should be taken near the 100th pick in 2017 mixed-league drafts. Reds hope young arms progress in spring By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | 6:52 PM ET + 0 COMMENTS With Spring Training fast approaching, MLB.com will take a look at a different aspect of this year's Reds squad each day this week. Today's topic: Spring Training is here. GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Even if they are not viewed as potential contenders for 2017, the Reds would be very pleased to move out of the rebuilding phase and become a team that is more competitive for the upcoming season. Loaded with young talent once again, Cincinnati hopes to set that tone beginning on Monday. That's when its pitchers and catchers report to open Spring Training, with their first workout slated for Tuesday, after the completion of physicals. Following a pair of last-place finishes in the National League Central -- both seasons with the second-worst record in the Majors -- the Reds have little place to go but up. But they also felt like 2016 was a step forward. A disastrous first half of the season filled with injuries and blowout losses gave way to a team that finished one game under .500 at 36-37 after the All-Star break. Sunday's trade of veteran second baseman Brandon Phillips to the Braves for two Minor League pitchers -- Carlos Portuondo and Andrew McKirahan -- who are not considered to be highly ranked prospects, showed that the rebuild is still a work in progress. But it was a much-needed move to help Cincinnati get to see its future possibilities now. That means more playing time up the middle for young infielders Jose Peraza, and perhaps Dilson Herrera. Reds general manager Dick Williams, manager Bryan Price and the rest of the club hope the strong second half can be the building block to bigger and better things. Efforts were made to shore up the team's biggest weakness -- pitching -- with some modest investment in a pair of free agents and a competition featuring several top prospects for openings in the rotation and bullpen. Otherwise, the hope and expectation is that younger players that featured in 2016 -- like Peraza and pitchers Robert Stephenson and Cody Reed -- continue to grow and feel like they belong in the Major Leagues.

Several were injured, and others have been getting needed development time in Triple-A. That's finally starting to change. With his "Super Two" status no longer a concern, pitching prospect Cody Reed was called up Saturday. Infielder Jose Peraza is back in the big leagues for the second time. Starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani has put an oblique injury behind him. Pitchers Michael Lorenzen and Raisel Iglesias could be ready in the near future. "It's exciting because this is what we've all talked about," Price said. "We've anticipated it would happen a little bit sooner. We didn't anticipate the health issues, and didn't think we'd come out of Spring Training with all the issues and injuries. I did anticipate we'd get to the point where these young guys would impact our ballclub, and begin to learn how to play at this level and find their way to success." More help could be coming. Pitcher Robert Stephenson, who already made two spot starts in the big leagues, is performing well at Triple-A Louisville with a 3.29 ERA in 11 starts.
