SEA / CIN

[Mariners GM (Jeff)]

Seattle Sends:

Paul Blackburn, P (OAK) - $1,200,000 through 2025
Jonah Heim, C (TEX) - $850,000 (pre arb)


Cincinnati sends:

Lucas Sims, P (CIN) - $1,300,000 (arb 2)
Kyle Farmer, MI (MIN) - $850,000 (arb 2)
Freddy Pacheco, P (STL) - minors


Jonah Heim became expendable when I traded for the Big Dumper. I like Blackburn but I don’t necessarily trust him to make starts consistently. Sims has closer potential (when healthy) and Farmer is a nice bench bat. Easy back and forth with Adam as always. Over to him to confirm.

[Reds GM (Adam)]

Got my catcher for the next year in a guy who probably holds down the majority of AB’s in Texas and get a cheap SP (who is hopefully healthy). Got to make this trade.
