Reds trade for Padres outfielder Travis Jankowski
The Cincinnati Reds have announced that they’ve acquired outfielder Travis Jankowski from the San Diego Padres in exchange for internaitonal signing bonus cap space.
The 28-year-old outfielder has been in the Major Leagues in each of the last five seasons, but only in 2016 and 2018 did he spend much time with San Diego. In 2015 he played in 34 games with the Padres. In 2017 he only saw action in 27 games. And this past season he played in just 25 games. For his career in the Major Leagues he’s hit .241/.317/.318. His best year came in 2018 when he played in 117 games and posted a .259/.332/.346 line – good for a 90 OPS+.
