Reportedly, the Reds would have gotten a better package back in November (I don't know who was included).
Decent move for the Braves as Ozzie isn't quite ready yet and Rodriguez is out for the year. May be able to deal him to a contender as a bench piece (with his limited no-trade clause) at trade deadline.
Reds pickup 13 million of his salary, but clear space for their youngsters.
Useful deal for both teams I guess. I hope BP plays a little better in the field this year, but I am not counting on it.
Other than providing an everyday position for Jose Peraza the move didn't provide much for the Reds. Paying $13M of the remaining $14M to unload him doesn't help the payroll this season or beyond.
