Cincinnati Reds: Outfield depth made Taylor Trammell expendable

The Cincinnati Reds sent their top prospect, Taylor Trammell, to the San Diego Padres as part of a three-team trade that brought Trevor Bauer to the Queen City. While some fans may hate to lose their top ranked minor league player, the Reds depth in the outfield made Trammell expendable in both the short and long-term.

Trammell spent the entire season in Double-A Chattanooga. The 21-year-old was hitting .236 with a .686 OPS. Trammell had 6 home runs and 34 RBIs for the Lookouts this season. His speed might be his best tool and helped Trammell swipe 17 bags this season.
